Nothing sustains the Now
Mile after mile
Like an open road
Through spectacular country
Mile after mile
Like an open road
Through spectacular country
Low fog formed over the riverbed
Where icy water
Still warmer than air
Vapourised and froze
To drift over the lake’s recessed floor
As I turned
My mind to it
It rose
And rose again
Into a mighty fire
Startled
I turned away
Tamped it down
Put it away
Returning to my quiet
Leaves submerged
Under tangled reflections
On a night lit fantastic
