On the Blue
On the blue,
I will tell you
what was there
because I was aware.
The smell of grass, water, rocks,
I looked up at the birds in flocks.
Frogs, birds, dogs, bees,
things every canoe sees.
The taste of fish was everywhere,
the sound of dogs barking in the air.
I felt the water, a calming pool,
the air coming past me was amazingly cool.
Being on the blue
was a joy to me, too.
Oh, it was such fun
on the blue, under the Sun.
