Ducks are

calm on the pond
knowing a great leader
has passed this way

fallen asleep under
an umbrella of sweet dreams.

Cradled within the beauty
of circumstances –
a tragedy

wings crinkled
flapping like saran wrap
caressing a whisper
of wind –

trees aside the shoreline
a garland of memory.

Your use of words invoke a calmness in the readers mind, allowing each carefully chosen word and image sink in. A wonderful write, Richard. Really enjoyed the last few lines in particular. Steve

Thank you kindly, Steve. I have always felt the woods and anything connected to Nature is a calming influence on our daily living. All the best. Richard.
