Waters of the reservoir
Shimmer in the late afternoon sun
Deep in reflection messaging
Peace and tranquility ...
Sitting in Reservoir Park
Days getting shorter
It will be dark soon
The happy excited laughter
Of the many children
Culturally diverse
Climbing rings on boat like jungle gyms
Fleeting images in their heads
Of pirate ships on rolling seas
Alternately blend in
With the sound of an airplane high in the sky
zooming into the unknown.
Waters of the reservoir
Shimmer in the late afternoon sun
Deep in reflection messaging
Peace and tranquility ...Crisp fall air envelopes the park
Trees statuesque in their splendor stand tall
Branches swaying to the rhythm of the wind
Bow to the universe in awe of magnificence…
Leaves in their splendor starting to turn
Yellow…red…gold
Many though still green
Autumn declaring its glory
as cars swish by on destination road.
Waters of the reservoir
Shimmer in the late afternoon sun
Deep in reflection messaging
Peace and tranquility…
Fathers and mothers hands on hips
Watch over children twirling on a pole
Going round and round…
Stepping on ladders that look like worms
Sliding…swinging…running…ripping
The reservoir mirroring
A momentary glimpse into eternity
Of the many ethnicities
at peace with each other…
The horizon now coloring in gold…orange…and pink
signals the setting of the sun.
Waters of the reservoir
Shimmer in the late afternoon sun
Deep in reflection messaging
Peace and tranquility…
Love it!
