Dr Molly serenades nature in this poignant poem, exclusively for Different Truths.
placid lies
the lake
at peace
with itself...
waters serene
reflecting
the depths...
beauty
unfolds
on both sides,
red, yellow, green
even the
cricket
hiding
in the
thicket
savouring
silence...
the green
boughs, leaves
in sedate
communion...
water rubs
gently over
the random
rocks
that
were always
already there...
the lone
stork
self-reflexive...
moments!
