A Poem 2

As night turns to dawn, fish scatter through the pond
Suddenly awaken by the light breaking through the muddy water
Barely hearing the birds chirp and waiting for a respond

We see turtles heads pop up and swim
Little minnows come and go at the slightest movement
In the distance we see a splash and a great big fin

Dragon flies Zoom, and fall
Twitching in the water but not for long
For there are little hungary mouths to await them all

As Perch swim in their egg beds, barely visible
We catch glimpses of fish swimming through being chased off by busy mothers
But as the evening comes, and dusk falls, the pond starts to turn invisible

All the fish go to rest
all the mothers protect their nest
We watch as the sun falls
and the birds start their evening calls

The life of the pond, lasts so long
even at night with stars in the sky
fish are busy catching flies
and we hear the splashes, The song of the pond
