Sun Speckled Pond
Sun speckled pond,
Reflecting my old face.
I’ve come again to catch your frogs
The ones that you misplace.
You can’t keep me out
Your ring of mud and reeds.
I’ve worn my faded sneakers
And rolled pants to my knees.
But first I’ll take a break
And sit here for a while.
It’s been some time since I’ve been back.
I’m tired. No denial.
We were together for so long
You must remember then,
The quiet nights, the fireflies
The summers without end.
Perhaps I’ll leave your frogs alone
And sit here for the night.
And watch the mists arise at dawn
And give the frogs a fright!
Hang in there Pond, for I’ll come back
And help you to remember
And catch your frogs amidst the reeds
And sparkling deep green splendor.
