A beautiful winter morning
the local pond mirrors the sky
Awash with enchanting colours
this scene plays a trick on the eye

The iconic swans glide across
as the image remains in place
When ducks create gentle ripples
it fades away without a trace 

Like a paintbrush dipped in water 
the bright colours are washed away 
A blank canvas appears one more 
repainted many times today
