In the silence of the lawnmover, I can perceive the other

the warm decks of the pontoon
against bare feet
see a sailboat pass
glitter of sun, wandering mist,
a couple of swans passing by.

My palms towards the sky
the sun is warm

waves of water under me
eyes closed, lying on my back
the grasshopper squeaks, passes by
a dragonfly stops, hoovering above me
then turns towards the shore

Leaves of the tree crowns quietly rustling
in the distance a boat
a child laughing far away

at last, in the silence of the lawnmower
it's me and the true context

This would have been pretty enough as a painting, but a poem, a very good poem, engages all the senses, as this does.
