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
so many lives in the pond
vegetable and animal
working to keep their home
but needing rain and earth
the amphibious egg layers
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
