It's Still Life

Day 5. Describe a peaceful moment spent observing a body of water.

The By and By

By and by, my thoughts find
a final resting place. Here, where
the fruits of one’s beating heart
find moon-stained fragrance.

Water’ll steal your heart with its
pond-born language, life’s broth,

and by and by, the frogs murmur
their love talk, diamond clear,
vowel-bending into shadows,

and words fall below the surface,
held still by the by and by.
