Worse Than That
by louis gander

While I was strolling near a pond
one bright and breezy day -
a splendid scene had caught my eye
in such a special way.

Decided I, to lie a spell -
to take in several views.
So I had lain on greener grass -
and kicked off both my shoes.

I saw the mirror images which
'bounced' beneath the sky -
on tips of little ripples that had
seemed to tip-toe by.

So beautiful, the lights reflected
off the little pond -
off the dancing water that
had seemed to just respond -

that life is not as it appears.
My thoughts took all this in.
That's when I found that I had laid
right in this world's sin.

Once tempted by the greener grass,
well used by dog and cat,
I'm humbled now with just one whiff -
and sin is worse than that.
