Inside my paper boat ...





In circles I turn 
without practical training, 
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
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
