Fish in the Pond

The waters of the pond drying
Dissolving into misty thin vapours.
In a few days,
The pond. will become bare.
But the distant clouds shifted paths
Flew to other directions.
In the shallow depths of the pond
Fishes dart swiftly
Gleaming through the waning stream.
But O wandering clouds,
Where have you flown?

Wow, eloquent picture you created just gave me a flashback of a drying puddle in the riverbed by my house which had some tadpoles in it, which I took back to our house and put in a bucket.

Your poem touches me at the thought of those poor fish that would certainly suffer and die if no fresh water arrived to refill the drying pond. So fingers crossed for those clouds to come and save the day! // paul

"But O wandering clouds, Where have you flown?"-- Beautifully, powerfully said. Wish I had the answers...higher power does not always seem to listen...care.... Then at times when I seem to not have a prayer in the world...there is a miracle. Faith is a necessary mystery. Fascinating read. Thank you.
