sun’s light overhead
water skippers dance their dance
their shadows dance too 🦊❤️

in the rushing creek
a still pool as smooth as silk
water skippers skip 🦊❤️
I stood on a little bridge looking down into the rushing water that continued its task of carving its way through the ageless rocks of Vermont. I was surrounded by the overwhelming beauty and majesty of the Green Mountains above me. In the midst of it all I watched Water Skippers dancing in a tiny pool of still water bordering the careening water. I watched their shadows dance on the pool’s rock bottom. I looked at my son Kevin silently standing beside me. Our jobs done. I felt still too. 🦊❤️
