Water Lillies

 We walked along the edge of the pond,
Absorbing the beauty we happened upon.

Flowers, ferns, butterflies, birds, and trees,
But one of the best, were the water lilies.

Claude Monet was hypnotized by their beauty
Sailing on a water palette where all eyes could see.

No wonder these peaceful aquatic flowers obsessed-
Floating along, drifting on the dancing ripples' crests.

We paused our walk and felt the spirit of Monet.
Watching the rhythm of the water lilies' ballet.
