I fish
Not for the fish
But for nature
And her peace
I love this poem
Its economy of words
Its simple insight
Oh
To be that boy
Again
A little play
In every step
And every thought
Sol heads off to bed
Flicks off the lights in the hall
Peace comes with darkness
I reach for the sky
Its light
Its heat
Bathe in the glory
Of nature’s bounty
Alive to the moment
Bloom burst
New life
Unfurls
A flourish of green
An explosion of new growth
Transiting seasons
Solitary sentinel
Faces menacing skies
Steadfast
Resolute
Safe harbour signal
Sought in distress
