My wife took this gorgeous photo at the International Waterlily Garden in San Angelo, Texas.

Where is the Water Going?
original poem by David/ Tropical Texana
written 2/10/1980
Where is the water going?
in the stream,
in the river,
in the street outside my door.
Always the water swirls
and swishes, gurgles
and glistens with movement.
Always rushing down
as if to meet some long,
lost lover.
Where is the water going?
will it ever be still, or
ever stop that relentless
search for its salty mother?
Just so-I think,
Where are the people going?
Will we ever be still,
like a garden pond,
a quiet pond
filled with life
and in no hurry.
Our garden pond at Tropical Texana
This week it's filled with tadpoles.
Thanks for stopping by. And please go visit Carolyn, the originator of Garden Muse Day, at her lovely garden blog found here:
Maybe you'll join in sometime!
