THE wrinkled water blue and sparkling
Is as if adorned with priceless diamonds
Mallards and swans gliding in the summer air
As passers-by memorise the view
Of the lake and reeds now green in July.
It is a scene so soul-soothing and serene
Then as if I’d been in a time machine
I enter a medieval village
Where life was short and peasants toiled
So much more than in this digital age.
An elderly woman on a bench
Shares food with her beloved dog
A simple pleasure on a sun-kissed day
When problems in the world seem far away.
