Right of center
of the cosmic stage,
the rising sun disrobe
its horizon and announces
the arrival of the brightness
of another day…
Waddling towards
a pond, a family of ducks
stretch and wiggle
their yawning wings…
The chloroplast bodies
of the fueling algae ringing
the pond capture rays of the sun,
energizing the multi-life community…
In the pond’s park of lily pads
and varied shapes of rocks,
aroused young frogs hopscotch
from one landing to another…
Barking and running
around the pond’s banks,
a swaggering beagle chases
a thirsty squirrel back up
the trunk of a resident tree…
On the street atop the pond’s hill,
car horns blast as rushing drivers
pass by chatting on their cell phones
while finishing getting ready for the day.
