Under Monet's Tree
Sitting with the ducks under
Monet's weeping willow tree,
over to the left a batch
of seniors try tai chi.
Then a flock of nine strong geese
floating to the right,
my resting spot at Manito
today brings such delight.
The ducks seem to accept my chair,
they wander back near me.
We sit and watch the breeze weave through,
Monet's lacy willow tree.
A grown man comes running up
to scare the geese to flight,
my ducks and I just take a peek
and snicker at the sight.
We settle back into the breeze,
the quiet of the day,
the overwhelming peacefulness
makes it natural to pray.
So when you have a hectic life,
with stress swirling about,
a spot like this will clear your head,
of that I have no doubt.
