Beyond the Pond and Lily Pads Poem by Pamela Storch

Beyond the ponds and lily pads,
A warming sky of gold,
The twinkle of the coming moon,
That sets the sparkling sky,

Betwixt the seasons gone and past,
A story never told,
Of how what is forgotten,
Shows the reason and the why,

For numbered are the days to come,
When understand the way,
The timeless seeks to set aside,
The moon and sun beyond,

For how is it that skies can end,
And earth can change its form,
If life is simply but a dream,
Who carries now the wand?

-Pamela Storch
