look what Wanda Kiel-Rapana, a NZ POET wrote for a painting I did

The Lily Pond
Shimmers from a thousand colours humming everywhere
Fragrance of a thousand flowers floating on the air
Lady Summer at her zenith, glowing high above
All around the lily pond feel Mother Nature’s love

In among the floating lilies creatures splash and play
Feeding on the million gnats, too fat to fly away
Hovering above the water, gauzy dragonflies
Everywhere I look always a beautiful surprise

Strolling on the walkways underneath the shady oaks
All around me chirps and twitters, buzzes, squeaks, and croaks
Weeping willow on the bank waving its’ leafy wand
Right on cue the lilies gently move around the pond

This is such a lovely way to spend an afternoon
Time does move so quickly on and summer ends so soon
Cooler days will soon be here but I’ll not look beyond
Being in this moment watching lilies on a pond
