So still
They cast no ripple
Even as the milfoil sways
Gently tickling my skin
My shadow on the pond
Consumed by the canopy of trees
Ringed by the light blue sky
The reflections smooth and steady
Upon a surface of euclidian perfection
My shadow on the pond
Consumed by the canopy of trees
Ringed by the light blue sky
The reflections smooth and steady
Upon a surface of euclidian perfection
Let the world
Fall away
Lose my ground
And a mighty tumult
Become I
Consumes
Valleys
Distant
Choking
Smoke
Creates
Pastel
Twilight
Artistry
Calm
Lake
Okanagan
The mountains
And the sea
Beneath azure skies
Underway
Destination of no concern
And I
Reflecting
Alone
In my thoughts
With nary
A care
But for the beauty
Of it all
And I
Becalmed
On the quiet sea
Furl my sails
Start the engine
Turn for home
To which I bring
This peaceful moment
Rain quells nature’s sounds
No songbirds sing
No children shout
Ours are the only ears
To hear
The gentle white-noise patter
Of rainfall
Coming back to Earth
In this world am I unbound
Softer than the lazy breeze
Which barely ripples cross the sea
Unattached to weighty thoughts
Adrift, perhaps, some might say
Yet guided by the tidal flows
I find my way
