Mute Envy
through gentle slopes of verdant grass,
beneath emerald canopies at the park,
the pebbly pathway meanders, widens
into a circlet with a refreshing fountain,
bluish turtle pond below busy birdbath,
fern foliage on a miniature mountain,
as yonder upon the lake, unhurried,
seemingly in slow motion, swans drift
preening in pairs, admiring their own
reflection there on the crystal water,
awed by their own graceful beauty,
mutually, mutely envying each other.
