Watching the Sky

on the water, the boat
watching the shore, the water,
birds, the loons, the horizon
watching the sky, clouds
shadows on the forest below
growing, darkening clouds
wakes, waves on the water
bobbing water birds
blue sky, changing in the heat
hikers on the mountain,
boats on the water with us
watching them all
as much as my eye,
my mind can take
drinking all of these in
