lake bonny

Do you see it?
Do you see the grass dancing
dancing to their own rythm
as the wind blows

Look, further beyond the lake
for the ways the breaches on the old oak tree waves
waving to each other as if to say "good day"
as the wind blows

the palm trees swaying to the music of nature
the restling of the leaves
holding our their arms to the warm rays of the sun
as the wind blows

Do you hear it?
quacking ducks with their chicklings
following closely to each other
while they play follow the leader

Do you hear the birds chirping
chirping to the joys of the day
see them as they twist and turn
as they glide across the sparkling lake

Do you feel it?
Do you feel as the wind passes through your hair
wrapping itself around you as it passes by
as the wind blows

Does the wind make you wonder
as where it came from
or where it is going
as the wind blows





I went to Lake Bonny park for this assignment and I stayed for at least 40 minutes.
As I went to Lake Bonny I was excited. I love nature and I love being outside. The 8 months that I have been here I have not take the chance to visit any of the lakes. This was a disappointment but this assignment gave the opportunity to do so. Lake Bonny is such a peaceful place to be. I brought a blanket with me and sat by the lake, feeling the gentle breeze pass by. The little ducks were especially cute as they followed their mother around. They always swam in a row but of course there is always one that goes astray. To my left I saw a squirrel running up and down the palm tree. Was this for mere exercise or did he have a purpose in his manic state? I also saw a bird, a white beautiful bird gliding across the water. He started up high then he gets lower. Suddenly he swoops into the water and picks up something; a fish probably. Such a spectacular show this lake is holding. As I look down I see a huge fish, a foot and a half! He’s swimming close to the shore, going about his own business. Oh how I wish I could get a closer look. I’ve never seen such a large fish. I wanted to catch it with a fishing pole. What a wonderful catch he would be but then why would I interrupt nature for my own happiness? How selfish that would be, so I sit, sit and watch him as he passes by fully happy with that fact that I saw him. This lake has so much to offer, but people give it very little attention for it is small or perhaps it is just a lake. Perhaps being just a lake is good enough, good enough to be the most peaceful of all place.
