At the inlet’s edge I sit
Just me
Watching
as sunlight swirls eddies into ever changing
abstract patterns
Gold light captured for an instant
melting away in the constant flux
a new curlicue appears briefly
and is gone

Mother’s palette changing by the moment
here a brown leaf flounders past
there a dragon fly skims the surface
flashing blue
At the inlet’s edge I sit
mesmerized by Nature’s Art
no permanent exhibit here
no meet the artist reception
Just me
