On a clear, sunny day,
not just the shimmering pond
and the fragrant fruits,
hanging from my trees,
give me joy,
but also
other things
I see.
Huge, dark mountains of clouds
produce lights.
A wave pushes lovingly
a smaller wave.
A sweet river anxiously
hugs its twin
while animals happily
dance together
on a small spot in a dense forest.
Showered by clouds and
carried by waves,
I hugged the merging rivers,
and yes, I danced!
But these nanoseconds sadly
flew away.
An ant, creeping underfoot,
pushed me hard, found her way,
and waved with a big smile,
“Sorry! Blessed is your day!”
