around the pond at Manito Park;
such a pleasure simply to walk along
these carefully tended paths, seeing anew
what the turn of seasons brings:
even the birds seem quiet here,
golden carp swim in peace,
stone statues await the change of light,
tall pines rise to the spring sky,
and I'll sit in one of the carefully placed gazebos,
each corner inviting repose,
or I'll cross the small arched bridge,
simply to be a part once again
of this lovely, small Japanese garden.
Spring at the Japanese Garden, Manito Park
