Boat floats freely on the current

The river knows where she goes

And we trust her to take us there

Clouds swirl lazily overhead

Painted streaks of white, blue, grey

While light fractures gold to green

Through overhanging trees

Green and gold shower onto the water

Leaves and blossom

Meadows dance on either side

Purple, red, white embrace the green

In a riot of growth

A black cat watches a butterfly

Alight on a shining flower

Orange against orange

Swans and ducks cruise the swirling waters

Until the boat leaves them behind

The journey is a feast for eyes and heart

A Creation dance of perpetual motion

While we wait in joy

For the sea, our destination
