Pond Life: By the Pond Purple Water Lilies

The pond came into view, lily pads spread like green coins across the water.

Down below, the water lay calm, its surface a glossy sheen. The air was mild, with a whiff of wet earth. The lilies, petals a soft purple, rose from the pads, like little crowns floating on the pond.

Stillness hung in the air, broken only by the faint croak of a distant frog. Around the lilies, lily pads clustered, some edged with pale yellow. Sunlight filtered through, making the lilies’ purple hues glow.

From here, the scene felt like a quiet poem—delicate blooms nestled in the water. The world simplified to the lilies’ gentle shapes, the pond’s glassy surface, and the air’s soft touch. The lilies, like quiet secrets, bridge water and sky. Just as beauty lingers in small things, these lilies turn the pond into a living painting.
