Bright sunlight dances across the open water
Glinting
like diamonds in the soft march winds
The surface
occasionally broken by rising fish
Far-reaching
ripples expand as a splash rescinds
Without
warning the morning peace is shattered
The silence
broken by breeding ducks in a brace
Flying and
gliding effortlessly in perfect harmony
Until
clumsily hitting the water with a lack of grace
An intruder
and his dog appear on the lakeside path
The alarm
is raised by geese honking frantically
Adult swans
noisily adopt their defensive stance
Huge wings outspanned
and charge dramatically
The once
tranquil scene is lost in a cacophony
All the
nesting wildfowl have now been alerted
The
intruder and his dog disappear along the path
The peace
returns now the danger has been averted
Bright
sunlight again dances across the water
Glinting
like diamonds in the soft march winds
The surface
occasionally broken by rising fish
Far-reaching
ripples expand as a splash rescinds
