PERFECT (April 2019)
On a day like today
Everything else fades away
And the river washes me clean.
The sun on my skin
Warms my soul deep within
As I take in the beautiful scene.
When I’m almost enlightened,
The line comes tight and
A bright silver fish clears the water.
She darts and she dashes,
Dives, twists and splashes,
Then I reach with my net… and I’ve caught her!
On a day like today
Everything else fades away
As I put that fish back in the stream
With a whisper of thanks
To the fish and the banks
For helping me live the dream.
