Poem -

water on the heath

water on the heath

On the flowering heath
an unexpected fen.

Flocks of waterlilies drifting in silence,
living myth

      while

the spaces in between mirror
the trees hiding/lining the waters.

A dragonfly races across, hunting understanding.

Frogs cause ripples on the surface,
they know what it means to them, the fen.

The silence breathes
for me to step out into the moment –

temple of time
well spent

Thank you , the frogs were (partly) put in to make up for my remark about feeding frogs to one of my guiding spirits, knowing you like them... And the well spent finds its origin in a quote my wife uses frequently when having had an espresso:"Due minuti ben spesi😱🤣"...

I read this a few times, and I think I comprehend how profound it is. 
You are in the moment, John, at one with the “temple of time”. Beautifully expressed.

Hanx, this is the third poem written in that spot, it has a strong appeal to me, it is rare that we have such a large area of wild nature in our overpopulated part of The Netherlands... My wife started it off by talking about Chinese and Japanese poetry, hence the temple😇
