***
The water shows us
What we really want to see
The world is waiting
***
A constant buzzing
Fountains and planes in battle
Silence is losing
***
Cricket of the night
How sweet of a lullaby
Calming in passing
***
Green, red white and light
These colors wane and wax
Shadows giving depth
***
The colors of past
Now bleed into the present
They are not vibrant
