poem about a koi pond
Ancient Spirits

|
a feeling of quiet
koi swim slowly
as if the water
contains magic
the cool fresh air
rises from a life
affirming home
fish from the past
moving colors
of orange and white
black spots
ancient spirits
call the pond home
rise to life
each spring
asleep under winter's spell
a human consumes the feeling
of a life other than man
a body of water
beyond the material
world
Beautiful Girl
swims to the surface
her long flowing white fins
guide her to food
she accepts gratefully
returns to flowering plants
strong and faithful
the wind and rain
revitalize her inner self
she blows bubbles to the surface
her human awaits
admiring beauty in motion
Handsome Boy is white
fins line with orange
he rests under sunlight
elegance shining in ripples
ancient spirits
Beautiful Girl
and Handsome Boy
ambassadors of nature
humans smile every spring
