The Loon

You’re watching me
your eyes as clear as the ocean blue
I drift over the calm water in a solid wooden canoe
I watched the birds over head as they flew
knowing soon I would hear you
the call of a loon
the silver light of the full moon
the oar sliced silently through the inky black water
calm and smooth
now I am watching you
motionless you rest
bathed in the moonlight's crest
