Like Molasses

My pond on a still night

Evening light sashays across center stage,

as both May flies and striders closely skim the seamless body of water.

Like winter performers gliding on ice they dance across their boundaries.

The soft babbling of the brook feeds the night sounds & lends not a ripple to the water.

Only a feeding bass breaks the barrier,

interrupting the sound of the breeze for a fast snack.

His ripples appear quickly and then stretch out like molasses

only to find stillness once again laid out before me.

What a beautiful, tender scene filled with the perfect peace of night. It seems to breathe alive and let the lingering light illuminate the mind.
