.On a clear, sunny day

not just the shimmering pond

 .and the fragrant fruits

 .hanging from my trees

 .give me joy

but also

other things

 .I see

Huge, dark mountains of clouds

 .produce lights

A wave pushes lovingly

a smaller wave.

A sweet river anxiously

hugs its twin

while animals happily

dance together

on a small spot in a dense forest.

Showered by clouds and

carried by waves,

 .I hugged the merging rivers

 !and yes, I danced

But these nanoseconds sadly

 .flew away

 .An ant, creeping underfoot

 .pushed me hard, found her way

 .and waved with a big smile

“Sorry! Blessed is your day!”
