Sitting just beyond the shore – v6

the pen of the poet

sitting within the scene

drawing the image

the word picture,

held in his view, his vision;

sitting beyond the shore

gazing out on the water

was a small flock of Canadian Geese

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 fully

to be centered wholly,

beside the still of that lake
