Slowly gliding
upon gentle waters
absorbing warmth
and sunshine
from the sky
 
Tall grass swaying
breezes fluffing
soft feathers
friends land
splashing
and bob for food
 
Startled
from my reverie
by the jangling
of the phone
I turn from
my office window

Sighing as the boss
calls my name
surprised
I realize
that a mallard
I envy
