A Village Duck Pond

By the village duck pond on a summer’s day
Where trees reflect on still water
Quiet and serene, a tranquil sight
A haven of peace in the soft daylight


The duck house floats, silent and calm
Cradled by the still water
No ripples disturb the mirrored scene
Where life flows quiet, serene and clean


Sunlight dances on the leaves
Whispering secrets to the sun’s rays
Casting shadows that softly play
On the pond’s surface, in a majestic ballet


The world is hushed, no rush, no sound
In this beautiful place, where peace exists
Life unfurls in its gentle way
By the village duck pond on a summer’s day.
