Today I rounded the hairpin bend
I could only stare
Taking in
The sheer glassy expanse
Engulfed
In the blinding Autumn sun
Glistening like a diamond
Visor snapped down
Squinting
I smile
Admiring the beauty
Little white flags
Daintily bobbing
Dotted across
This large pond
Silently gliding
Soaking up
The early morning rays
Weaving ripples
And leaving runways
As their pilots maneuver
Their rudders enjoying this peace
Majestic swans follow
Making their own paths
What an exquisite tapestry
Of natural beauty
Rounding that corner unveiled
A few duck here
Moorhens there
Circles of gulls
Squawking overhead
announcing this morning
to the world
And the solitary dog walkers
Not a cloud can be seen
As heaven radiates down
I pass on by
Leaving this corner
Of mother earth
till I return later in the day
Mindful of the beauty I witnessed
Ready for my cuppa at start of my day
20.10.15
