before a summer rain shower,
offering solidarity to those of a similar nature,
a weeping willow stands guard ovr
the pond's dominion as the koi hide
in the illusive shadows that darts along
its fashionable perimeters, only to be
contained by shape and size...
small frogs on the pads sit looking
for a ride to shore - nearby turtles ignore
their request because of the noisy
morning they've had to endure...
the nature of life lives at the bottom
of all thoughts and actions especially
when the restless owls fly to northern
climates to avoid august humidity...
darling deer, one by one, come looking
for does who have washed ther legs
in these stagnant waters, hiding from
all their responsibilities - the pond offers
its memories to those with interest
to those who might be curious but not
to those who respect not the nature of it.
