Gliding through mini luscious everglades
Waterlily pads ahead, to the right
Then to the left, careful not to disturb
Swooshing gently through calm serene stillness
Stealthily paddling a ten-foot canoe
Splendour before us, reverence and awe
Silence broken by a loon’s lonely call
Hushed chitter chatter of nymphs and fairies
Hid underworld microcosm fairyland
Withheld veiled from all prying human eyes
Concealed bubbling teeming effervescence
Within the grassy edges between rocks
Playfully laughing in the warm sunshine
Soul bared, all senses sweetly awakened
Enchanted like in a magical dream
Truly a blessing to be invited
Cordially through waterlily alley
