Another visit to Watson Lake. No time constraints today so I sat, wrote, played ukulele, and then decided to hike a little. Stellar day. Relaxing for the mind and body.
Today I sat
Alone and Still
On a bench
Overlooking a green water lake
Rimmed by boulders
And trails.
Today I sat
Alone and still
And listened
People I couldn't see,
ducks swimming and flying
In the water below me
birds singing above and around.
Today I sat
Alone and still
As I soaked in the warmth of the sun
The stillness of the air
Watching ducks
Watching kayaks on the water
Admiring the bright blue sky.
Just watching the rippling water
Flowing towards me
Sparkling bubbles.
Reflections of rocks
Shimmer in the water
Near the opposite bank.
Today is I sat
Alone and still
On a bench
Reveling in the scene before me
Green swimming water
Giant unmoving boulders.
This is what I needed today.
This is what I need.
This is what makes life worth living.
This is life.
