THE POND
As I sit at this table, supposedly studying, I can see a large, man-made pond. There are birds on the pond, ducks, herons, a larger bird, perhaps an egret, and a couple of others I don't recognise. They float around on the water, looking so calm. However, under the water, I have heard, they have to paddle fast to move. A little of what my life is like. I can walk around looking calm, but underneath, I am struggling every day to move through life.
