enact kindness
create moments of pause for disclosure, discovery, stillness

Revolt

lake
stretches out 
before me, grey & 
shimmering lovely starkness
broken by breeze, leaves & loon
call stars in the offing
leaning back 
in 
the 
boat 
is all it takes to begin 
its release from shore
drifting 
into
the 
cool 
silver beckoning
bowl of twilight

  2. I wish I could be there. I love the whole feel of your words, Harlequin.The lay out too. It looks like a sail and a boat to me. But that is just me.

  3. I love this, especially the anchor shape that I see in it.

  4. Let the twilight come and take me to the night, I am ready for the beauty of the darkness lying on my back looking at stars I do not know the name of.

  9. Beautiful poem and writting still. It is true all it takes its the relief from shore, that is the hole point of this.

    Be well my friend
