In the Style of E. Pauline Johnson.
I have pushed from shore
Like some Indian lore
And the birch craft
Takes over my need.
To be on the Lake
For some reverie’s sake
As the bush fells its amber
Un-treed.
But the moment lifts
As my craft just drifts.
I intend to wait quiet
For stars.
And the North One, my friend.
Til autumn’s chilled end.
And canoe lifted lone
To shed’s bars.
Several months the Lake glassed.
Several months my treks passed.
But the Hope lingers
Long like rich wine.
For the white throat’s
Sweet song
To May flowers belongs.
And paddling, in aroma of pine.
