Of Motion and Stillness
OF MOTION and STILLNESS
The meer now seen in frantic action spate
The feathered life all bustling with a will
Intent on search for food or for a mate
Active throughout, no place for body still
The constant motions all across the lake
Speak clearly of a powerful intent
Survival that each specie seeks to make
By feed and breed and family extent
But down the river all is calm and cool
Through boughs sun dapples stream with gold motif
The pebbled bed now gleams with nature’s jewels
While on the bank - a motionless relief
In essence still and splendid stands the tree
Sublime and simple purpose thus: To Be
