Waiting

Waiting for these waters
to turn emerald green and then blue.

Because of the late rains
We had this year,

It took longer than last year
For these waters to change colour.

One fortnight ago
This log on the foreground
Was used by the locals
As a base for their fire
With dry twigs
To warm themselves up
After a day's hard work.

When it's about time for supper
They just fuse it out
With the aplenty of waters
Just a hand's stretch away

The log's still there!
