backing into a lake's primitive bank -
stern side stronger
than starboard right,
dipping alternately,
finding rhythm
Stillness settles,
slipping o'er
untroubled liquid mirrors,
where ripples cease to repeat,
announcing pristine solitude
A distant hushed crystal splash
reveals a rainbow's tail,
free from hook, line, sinker
My boat meets
no resistance
no resistance
Tall wispy grasses
give clues to movements
mimed in life's underbrush
Ripening blackberries adorn
the roundness of it all,
where tiny streams replenish
dreams in my soul
Under my woven hat,
shading my face and red lips
healing from sun ultraviolet
With clarity of vision
unknown before,
I slip into an exquisite
peaceful nap, floating

ReplyDeletereplenish dreams in my soul..this holds such depth

I can just imagine anglers salivating over those three lines. A wonderful piece, full to overflowing with images of peace and tranquility.
Water, sun, berries, imagination - all the ingredients for floating away in bliss, in happy contentment.
ReplyDeleteA serene journey, one that slides easily through both the inner and outer worlds.
