The Birth of a Pond....~Once upon a time, during the dawn of the Masquerade Planet Colonies... one of the cursed children, the elemental Masque Terran... known to one and all as the 'Dirty boy in a skirt' or 'Cern' started digging, and he never stopped. He worked on a single hole until the day he left for the far ends of oblivion.
The hole on his departure was about twelve feet in diameter and no deeper than four to four and a half feet. People dodged it, cursed it, and remembered the little boy who had dug it. For almost a year the hole remained untouched by the inhabitants of the Masquerade Colony, and then everything changed.
Another of the cursed children, a girl, and also the elemental Masque Aqua started to dream. And while she was an introverted and shy little creature Aqua... or Saniya dreamed big. She could see the hole as more than a hole... she saw a pond, fed by a stream that coursed well below ground.
In an unlikely friendship Saniya was joined by her counterpart, another elemental Masque, Blaze a teen at this point fed her dream like adding phosphorus to a fire. Blaze known to all as Kasai, encouraged Saniya to use her elemental abilities to draw the water from that underground spring.
To her surprise and pleasure the Spring slowly filled the hole with water, creating a beautiful pond... Working with Kasai Saniya gathered plants from the lake and gave life to the pond, with plans of getting Fish from the Space Station.
To date the pond is inhabited by a small family of Koi, a freckled white one called Spot, a golden one called Lemon and a red one named for the boy that helped the dream come true.... Blaze.~~"By means of water, we give life to everything."~
Koran, 21:30

~"Water is sometimes sharp and sometimes strong, sometimes acid and sometimes bitter, sometimes sweet and sometimes thick or thin, sometimes it is seen bringing hurt or pestilence, sometime health-giving, sometimes poisonous. It suffers change into as many natures as are the different places through which it passes. And as the mirror changes with the colour of its subject, so it alters with the nature of the place, becoming noisome, laxative, astringent, sulfurous, salty, incarnadined, mournful, raging, angry, red, yellow, green, black, blue, greasy, fat or slim.
Sometimes it starts a conflagration, sometimes it extinguishes one; is warm and is cold, carries away or sets down, hollows out or builds up, tears or establishes, fills or empties, raises itself or burrows down, speeds or is still; is the cause at times of life or death, or increase or privation, nourishes at times and at others does the contrary; at times has a tang, at times is without savor, sometimes submerging the valleys with great floods.
In time and with water, everything changes."~
Leonardo da Vinci

Night covers the pond with its wing.
Under the ringed moon I can make out
your face swimming among minnows and the small
echoing stars. In the night air
the surface of the pond is metal.
Within, your eyes are open. They contain
a memory I recognize, as though
we had been children together. Our ponies
grazed on the hill, they were gray
with white markings. Now they graze
with the dead who wait
like children under their granite breastplates,
lucid and helpless:
The hills are far away. They rise up
blacker than childhood.
What do you think of, lying so quietly
by the water? When you look that way I want
to touch you, but do not, seeing
as in another life we were of the same blood.
