Lunch

Waiting for lunch

By the lily pond

Admiring the lilies

Yellows and pinks

I watch the fish

I hear the frogs

A bright blue flash

A crash, a splash

Another blue flash

A white-throated kingfisher

Flew to its perch

Goldfish in mouth

The bird had its lunch

And I went for mine.

This photo depicts a white-throated kingfisher, photographed near Sarona Market in Central Tel Aviv. The sight of the bird enjoying its meal, near a spot where so many people go to enjoy meals of their own, inspired this poem. Green Golem appreciates the message: humans are a part of the natural world, and we can all find unity within it.
