Tranquil Pond

Out in the forest, deep still water’s sleep

As through the bushes soft flowers peep

A reflection shines of bushes nearby

On top of the water like a quiet Angels sigh

Light brown Acer’s stand proud and tall

Forming a guard of honor over the small waterfall

As the water trickles making small ripples of light

As the Sun shines on the water, a reflection so bright

High trees are standing overlooking the scene

Remembering how many people, nearby have been

Fish swimming endlessly, no cares at all

Only disturbed by the leaves that may fall

Still waters run deep. Or so they say

As the Sun goes to rest at the end of the day

Soon darkness falls, all in the woods falls asleep

And the night animals come out and silently creep

All round the area, hope they do not fall in

Because at night that would be such a mortal sin

So on wards and upwards, this situation exists

For tomorrow is a another day, in this woodland, Pond tryst
