The ice erases
the sky and trees
as it creeps across the pond.
Sunlight
tiger stripes
the pond.
Pond’s Edge
for a brief moment the tree tops are in reach.
Shadow
to see the thing that is least visible.
Whispers
If you listen closely
at the edge of the pond, shortly after dawn,
you can hear the fish whisper their plans for the day.
Verdant
The pond shares her wisdom
in the beauty of calmness
and importance of multiple perspectives.
