Observing the bayou
flabbergasted by the beauty of the day
mist over the water
as a duck makes its way
Slow ripples in the water
as the wind blows
picturesque as a painting
the ripples have a glow
The grass begins to sway
featuring colors of yellow and gold
filtered sun makes them shine
it is bold
A kayak enters the bayou
hoping to catch some rays
slowly paddling
taking in the day
Another water bird
waddling in the banks
searching for food
bayou is a fish tank
The mist burns off
as the sun filters through
another beautiful morning
as life is renewed
