Gone Fishin'

Flawless blue sky
Sweltering heat
The slight breeze as
Light as a baby's exhalation
Cools and dries your sweaty self.
Hapless worm floating in the depths of
Green water reflecting green trees.
Orange flowers
White hot sun
The occasional drone of
Bass master motors racing
To their secret honey hole,
Drowsily enjoying the pleasure of the pause.
Random sudden twitches of your pole
Demanding your attention.
Discussions with your fishing buddy
Who has shared this journey for a lifetime.
Delighting in watching the magnificent
Tail splash of a bass on the chase.
Relishing the deceptively lazy serpentine swirl of
The long fin of a showy and aggressive grennel
Your fishing buddy has named “Bob.”
Appreciating the splendor of the essentially untouched
Natural world cradling and renewing your psyche
While simultaneously experiencing in your heart
All the joy and wonder, excitement and content.
So many gifts in this life
So little time for gratitude.

All is given to you.
