Dragons for their keel
Rowing oars instead of wheels
Their ships rock and reel

Why would I follow the crowd
Does it know where it's going
I'd rather steer my own ship
Than do the thankless rowing

Epigram
With flip-flap wings
in rhythmic rowing,
two sunset-magpies
flew straight through
a sky of pumpkin soup,
as I drove home to you.

Rowing a boat up onto the land
Digging the oar stump into the sand
Dragging a dead ship on dry ground
Wishing that on sea, i had drowned

Rowing over lies
In search of truth's shore to find--
Broken were his oars!

Swimming in the light;
Rowing etheric rivers,
Soul upon its’ quest.
Color my epiphany
A heavenly tranquil blue.

When an horse stepped into an hole
A cowboy was dumped on the dole
He sat in his saddle
Just rowing a paddle
Because work was never his goal

I will not stop
rowing the boat.
But, oh my bird,
Where have you flown ?
When will you return ?
Happily I will row the boat
When you come .

unchained from death’s grip
getting away from a dark pit
rowing across the river Styx
back to the world of the living
freed at last, born once again.

the team rows in unison
sense of honor
feeling accomplished
the sun begins to slide into the sea
and still they row
not knowing anything better to do with today

I am but a man treading a brief dream.
I'm but a man rowing a sacred stream.
A student of life seeking knowledge yet;
Contented with the cotton therein his closet.

castle Britannica
rowing club in gentle waters
arrival of swans
I head to the turret
binoculars on a ledge
I see red tulips
loving the turquoise sky

While On Boat Rowing
While being on boat, we were rowing;
Wherever we went had been knowing,
Shore is near,
And did appear;
Right beside us are sure God is going.

starboard saints
rowing ridges over
trembling tides, we're
brewing boulders topped with
wintery whitecaps
sinking slowly, we whisper
defeated dirges to the
abyssal plains

Rowing down the river
in a paper made boat
with a tear and a shiver
going down my throat
I just think of you in fever
while I travel this road
you my angel and my giver
my reason to stay afloat.

Blossoming onwards
Know you’re worthy of success;
God…navigating…
Like flowers of spring,
Your destiny is assured;
God…cultivating…
Plow onwards in faith,
Rowing towards your greatness;
God…fertilizing…

He is
A-nother moment that i can breathe
M-emories of my childhood dreams
A-mused by the likes of me
Z-oned into what he is to be
I-nspirational scene
N-ever to be apart
G-rowing closer,
everything you'll never be.

much time did devote
when my poems I wrote and wrote
rowing in a boat
was hard to resist
wrote more poems which now exist
added to long list
when mind would engage
wrote more poems page after page
while wise old sage

The poetry is slowing,
but not so much the rowing.
It seems without my knowing,
not words, but water's flowing.
So not much of a showing,
but stamina is growing.
A west wind is now blowing
and so I must be going.

The water surface calm and still,
I row my boat upon the lake,
And pull my oars with practiced skill.
In ripples with the strokes I make,
My own refection watches me.
Alone out there, I am really free.
* In my imagination on my rowing machine, LOL

With God We Are Rowing
When with God we are always rowing,
Faith in Him is growing and growing;
Much kelp;
Need help;
Maintain course when wind is blowing.
Jim Horn
Kelp slows down and re-directs boat.
Nice knowing that we have God's help.
