Stars float into the ocean as I drive into the night sky

I wonder if the nights are as lonely for the creatures in the sea as they are for me.

 

Sleepily, I look into the sky as I rock in my canoe.

Listening only to the ripples of the water,

Seeing only the bright silver dots in the endless curtain of darkness.

I wonder if the beauty I see tonight is overlooked by the creatures of the land.

 

Dipping my fingertips into the refreshingly freezing water,

As I feel the warmth and humidity of the summer breeze against my cheek.

Gazing into the moon, there is a feeling of deep calmness I achieve on this rocking boat…

I wonder if I will ever gain this sense of peace with myself when I’m surrounded by the city.
