Reflections on a Pond
Gaze upon the waters, a mirror so clear,
Where the sky kisses earth, and the world draws near;
The still pond reflects all, from the clouds to the trees,
In a beautiful calm, that invites the soft breeze.

The lilies float gracefully, with colors ablaze,
As the dragonflies dance through a delicate haze;
The frogs give a chorus, their rhythm a tune,
In the heart of this haven, under the watchful moon.

For in nature’s reflections, we find our true core,
A sense of connection, of love evermore;
So sit by the pond, let your spirit take flight,
In the silence, the world is perfectly right.
