Reeling In a Heart Line
Fragile black sillouettes,
leaves on the water
sunrise and sunset
on a fisherman's daughter
silver blue heron's legs
shimmer and shine,
on the Homosassa River
reeling in a heart line
catching black catfish
bellys white as sheep
by the light of the lantern
while the others are asleep
and the whole rollin river
just seems to be mine
on the Homosassa River
reeling in a heart line
by the light of the lantern.
by the light of the stars
while the others are in London
or Paris or Mars
I'd rather hold a reverie
biding my time
on the Homosassa River
reeling in a heart line.
