Unstable Serenity

I was looking at a small pond, 

The water was still and no sound around, 

Then I saw the bird hanging in the sky, 

Just above the water possibly passing by. 

Its wings full of colours moving very fast, 

creating a turbulence of wonderful rainbow light. 

The bird was steady and gauging below, 

There was the splash when it drove to shallow. 

Then the bird flew high and was gone, 

Silence was broken so was the stillness of the pond. 

Ripples were formed and continued to grow,

Serenity was shattered with the stroke of a selfish blow.
