What beauty we might detect in scenes like this
Would depend upon our willingness to appreciate
The randomness, the natural arrangement
Of water, grass, stone and stump,
While at the same time imagining
(Projecting, if you will)
Angelic or childlike creatures
Delighting in the presence of
A pond, the leafy greenliness of spring,
And the warm embrace of sunlight after
A winter’s lengthy cold and dark…
