A Moment in Time
first boat ride
was a canoe
and i sat there
in the middle
of the two
staring at the water lilies
fascinated by floating flowers
i couldn’t convey
that day
out there on the water
feeling connected to nature
thinking we’d always be
together
gliding along
like swans
only now do I understand
the depth
for the canoe is gone
and the two of ‘em
never got back in the boat
and the child
in the middle
got old
and hasn’t seen
a floating flower since
but still wants to …
still wants to get back
in the boat
and glide
