pond almost perfectly still

then

sudden breeze ripples surface
tree reflections
so clear a moment ago
now a blur, trees gone
stillness replaced with
wind-driven motion
a once placid scene
now agitated
where nothing is quite clear

moments later, breeze gone
tree reflections return
scene quite placid
once again
