Euphoria

At sunrise, whispering winds start to die
Tranquility, lends itself to foment
Fragrance of wild lavender, drifts by
The loons circle a large effervescent

Diving for prey, I observe their splendor
I take aim and cast with all eloquence
Hopeful serendipity is in store
My vessel wafting, absolute silence

Dulcet hits, amounts to a tug of war
Reeling, I break into a lilting *bliss
