Pond

A pond is a micro-ocean
with rivaling beauty and tides
the lily pads with flowers at the edge
of land decorate its splendor
along with the moon
reflecting on the water

Vermillion is a small town in South Dakota On the bluff overlooking the Missouri River There are flowers here in the spring Cold winds sweep the area in fall and winter But the waters run deep Just above in Yankton, SD The river is damed A large lake cool and quiet And here in the spring the birds return White pelicans circle below the dam Feeding on the puzzled fish In the fields Sandhill cranes return Nesting and awaiting the fall Imagine you are Vermillion Seeing the majesty of it all. sidi
