Wilderness

suspended o’er rocks
on knots tied by unknown hands
the hammock holds fast

drifting off to sleep
safe to swing above water
canoe anchored close

night falls so quickly
quiet paddle strokes are heard
across the river

traveling to camp
reflections of solitude
wilderness journey

Thank you for sharing this peaceful journey with us, Deb. I felt like it was a first-hand experience. You really have a gift for words and I'm so glad you're posting work here now. Love and best wishes for the holidays, Carolyn
