My image appears in the pond

in that place where I am quite fond

as the water remains still

and I look with all my will.

I rise from my stoop

to see more ponds for me to loop

and in each one appears a different face

maybe the sun and clouds are playing a little race.

A race in time as the clouds dip in

swimming the lilies like fish with fin

green lilies, the colour of the grass on 

which the ponds sit

if I continue with this looking mirror

it may send me into a happy happy fit.
