Peace of the River

Leaf filtered sunlight
Speckles the water,
Tunnels of branches
Shading the stream

Little waves, lapping,
Knock on the kayak,
Paddle stroke rhythms
Rocking the boat.

Heron is gliding
Serenely greenwards,
Peace of the river
Filling my soul.

oh good. I was able to find an oldie I have not seen yet. Your talent in the very beginning was shining there for us to see! Love "tunnels of branches." Btw, I posted a partial pic of my rose bushes now.

Thank you, Andrea. We have many lovely rivers here in Missouri, and I wrote this after a day of kayaking.
