Meandering stream

bordered by watery alcoves 

of cool shade

under heart leaves

sentient bubbles 

of amphibian eyes

spy.

Friends of the Great Swamp

know this sanctuary

of the soul

guard and celebrate

this heavenly earth.

Pickerelweed

Pontederia cordata,

pickerelweed, lanceleaf, heartleaf, 

steam side shelter to

frogs, snails, turtles, 

and of course pickerel,

suspended in cool shadows

 waiting to taste tiny swimmers.
