Whitney Word: "The Pond"

"The Pond"
By Joan Rosenberg

Wondrous vision
Forged by nature
Framed in green
Mirror of the sky
Nurturer of my soul

Floating circles, gently notched
Jade-hued in the sun
Punctuations in yellow
Unfurling with the day
Coalescing, spreading
Amorphous blankets
Reflections of moiré
Reaching for the shore

Playground of fisherman,
Boatman and swimmer
Sustainer of life
Subject of artist, musician and poet

Long winter night’s dream

“Whitney Word” is a publication of short stories and poetry written by Whitney Center residents. Whitney Center is a nonprofit continuing care retirement community in Hamden, Conn. To learn more about Whitney Center, check out our website, and find us on Facebook.
