the calm of a spring day

a windless day at the lake

among the reeds

reflections of the sky

and the soft landing of dragonflies

ripple the water surface

a frog jumps from the edge and swims

and the tranquil sun like a blanket of warmth

covering everything save the cool shade of the trees above

a welcome breeze goes by and children laugh in the distance

tiny flowers bloom in the grass

and the makers of honey go their way to all

watch your step if you are barefoot

or you'll wish you had..
