Interlude by the Pond

The late Spring is a powerful thing

 I was in orbit by the Estuary

known as Lake Merritt

 A young fellow

contemplates 

a moment alone

 

 Look who's also here today

visiting dignitaries

Silentand observant

a duck rests in the shade

 The boy appeared again with a friend,

The Mom figure gave them 

plenty of room to be

 They seemed like lovers perhaps

God bless love in all its forms

 Not that one always
needs to go 

to extremes

 Accomplished mosaic work

relegated to rubbish bin decoration
while rubbishy murals abound,

go figure

 When Hokusai's tsumani

comes to town

Coming in

the clouds rushed

 to meet me
