I looked deep into the pond and saw
So many different things
Alive and happy
Colourful and free
From afar it looked calm and sill
But closer it was busy
They were surviving;
Plants growing high
To get the best light
Bees linger around them
Working for the hive
Fish swim below
Searching for an aimless goal
The colours stand out
Bright and vivid
Attracting life to the pond
Animals arrive and start their lives
Striving to survive
A micro-biome;
The pond its own society
There's a world in there
With good and bad
Though more subtle then in the real world
I looked deep into the pond and saw
All this and more
It reflected myself and I thought
In the pond I can see my soul
