Always enjoy poems about nature. When I was a boy, we had a pond nearby that was the portal to worlds of imagination and fantasy in the woods there. I would ponder things there. I also took water samples to look at under my microscope. Thank you for sparking my memories and imagination.

Awesome poem !!

Once we see the portals, next is to transport ourselves into the portal to feel the pond on a more molecular level… can you imagine the feeling in every pore of our human body….. the feeling of utter dispersement ….. to feel that again !!!….

Kassi, this is stunning. I felt like I was right there at the pond, watching the world shift as sunlight hit the water. The way you move from the familiar to the cosmic is pure magic, “a pond is a poem, a portal for the soul” gave me chills. I loved the transformation from observer to explorer, from earthbound to interstellar. Your imagery always opens new ways of seeing. Thank you for this quiet moment of reflection and wonder. ✨️❤️🌿
