Morning On the River

Awake before the sunrise,

     one with the breeze and water.

Like my father who brought me here

     and taught me this graceful dance

of line and wind and stillness~

     the art of fly fishing~

And the simple pleasure of 

     a morning on the river.

Gershon Wolf Date: 5/6/2019 2:19:00 PM So expressive and elegant in its (deceiving) simplicity. One of the pleasures of life---so perfectly penned. A FAVE! :) gw Login to Reply P.S.
