Sitting just beyond the shore – v5

the pen of the poet

sitting within the scene

drawing the image

held in his view, his vision

the word picture emerging;

sitting beyond the shore

gazing out on the water

a flock of Canadian Geese

floating in the morning

that words soon would flow

his pen moving, running

racing, in rhythm, flowing

across the journal page;

freed from time, convention

to slow his path, to breathe

to be centered wholly

beside the still of the lake

the hush of the morning
