Lily Pond Vision

Different worlds float through this part of the pond.
There is an abundance of thick green pads jostling for space and sunlight. Their roots and tendrils jabbing above and below water for location, opportunity and life.
There is also the signs of decay and abandonment from those who have made way for those coming up fast from behind. Lost leaves, hollow stakes and muddy endings. The reflections of branches above foreshadow they may also become part of the endless recycling of life and join the dark bottom of the pond.
And the water line holds it all together, supporting Lily pads below and the reflections of what is above. Water is the depth, holds the sky’s colour and assimilates whatever is alive with the less than alive but equally important in the pond world.
