A Positive Poem

Drift away, resting, golden wood canoe,
still black water, yellow flecked,
sweet pollen confections.

Idle hours, soft swaddled in sun's warm wrap,
friendly heat, tranquil musings,
lily pad cookies float.

No conflict creases my deep water moat,
peace reigns within my cradle
Mother Earth gently rocks.
