the pond is full of life
from the water lily flower
to its roots in the murk
from the silver scales of fish 
snatching the unwary fly
to the lowly bottom feeders
feasting on the scum

working to keep their home
but needing rain and earth

the windblown pollen
the nectar loving bee

come to the water 
bring your own ecology
to share and watch
read its ripples
and accept the gifts of its
limitless boundary
