Poem: Floating Free


Floating Free

Floating down the river,
Far from city sounds,
Crickets, frogs and owls,
The only noise around,

Dip your oar, then once again,
Move with practiced ease,
Slide along with gliding strokes,
Coast beneath the bending trees,

Linger in a shadowed cove,
See the moon rise high,
Breathe in stars and crisp night air,
See trout and bass swim by,

Peaceful place, peaceful thoughts,
Far from stress and strife,
Forget tonight that woes exist,
That worries come with life,

Floating down the river,
Far from city sounds,
Hope can rise so far from shore,
So far from your front door,

Hold that forevermore.
