"Lily"
rushes
the buzzing of the flies
the sound of water
flowing past my oar.
mist
clouds my vision
allowing me to see
only ghosts.
sunlight
streams carefully in
picking its way
thoughtfully through the mist.
sounds
a sorrowed loon
calling eternity
with its song.
marshland
the sigh of reeds
whispering
across my canoe.
beauty
in the lily
that grows
in silence.
