The Seahorse Dance
A Fickle Friend
In a pond so calm and bright
lives a mallard in the light.
Feathers gleam in emerald hue
reflecting skies of endless blue.
Adaptable in every way
he greets the dawn of each new day.
Through storms and sunshine, he will glide
in nature's arms, he does confide.
​
In harmony with wind and wave
he finds the peace that waters gave.
Among the reeds, where whispers sing
he feels the world on gentle wing.
​
Connection to the earth and sky
he teaches young ones how to fly.
In every ripple, growth is found
A life in balance so profound.
With quiet power in his grace
he journeys through his sacred space.
A symbol of the wild and free
In his reflection, we can see.
​
The mallard's life, a tranquil art
A song of peace within our heart.
In his presence, wisdom flows
A timeless tale the river knows.
At dawn's first light, the cockerel crows
With intuition, morning grows.
His call a burst
of inspiration bright
​
Chasing away the cloak of night.
In rhythm with the hands of time
he heralds daybreak’s early chime.
​
With audacity, he stands so tall
embracing challenges that call.
​
Feathers gleaming in the sun
Confidence in every run.
​
He struts the barnyard, bold and free
​
A symbol
​
of what we
​
can be.
In the hush of twilight
a hare leaps through the meadow
each bound a whisper of ancient secrets.
Fertility breathes in every step
the promise of life, nestled in the earth's embrace.
​
Under the watchful eye of the moon
moving like a shadow, a flicker of magic, dancing on the edge of dreams.
​
Mystery cloaks the form
silhouetted against the silver light
a guardian of night’s enigma
a symbol of nature's perpetual dance.
In the hidden depths where currents weave
a seahorse dances, steadfast and serene
With grace it glides, through seaweed green
embodying strength in the ocean's endless sheen.
Its delicate form belies a mighty heart
through turbulent tides, it refuses to depart
With each gentle sway, it navigates with art
Perseverance embodied
A resilient work of maritime art.
By the shimmering shore, a flamingo plays
frolicking in the sun's warm rays.
With balance in each graceful step
he dances in a joyful rep.
Fun fills the air as he twirls around
In a world of pink, where love is found.
Romance blossoms in his gentle glance
a fleeting look, a tender chance.
With compassion in his every move
he spreads a peace that's sure to soothe.
In his heart, inner peace does flow,
By the water's edge, a heron stands
Elegance etched in every line
A silent whisper of ancient wisdom, reflected in the stillness of the pond.
Among the trees, shadows weave
Transformation flows in quiet grace
Intuition guiding each deliberate step
A dance of patience and poised reflection.
Water mirrors the journey
A symphony of subtle moves
where nature’s secrets are softly spoken
and the heron’s gaze holds the world in balance.
In the deep abyss where shadows play
a friend prowls, in its own dark way
Its tentacles possess the ocean's sway
A master of currents, in constant delay.
With eyes that gleam in the fickle deep
it defends its realm, with secrets to keep
Yet within its strength, a flaw may creep
yearning for the surface, where the waters sleep.
In the fluid flow of its silent domain
the fickle friend dances, a creature arcane
In possession of mysteries it won't explain
In the ocean's embrace
it forever reigns.
In the forest deep, a deer does tread
Through shadows where the sunlight bled.
​
A listless heart, once full of fear
now seeks the light, the path is clear.
​
Metanoia stirs within his soul
A gentle shift, a newfound goal.
​
No longer swayed by every squall
he stands with grace he stands so tall.
​​
In the quiet, where the soft winds call
the deer finds peace amidst it all.
​
Through change and growth
he's now set free
A symbol of tranquillity.
