A Dinghy Decima
calming lake winds whisper my name
my heart strings pull toward the shore
such beckoning I can’t ignore
(wild inner spirit all but tame)
when gypsy sirens lured, I came
blue flowered kayak- Hippie Soul
and picnic cooler for the shoal
a backward launch to self propel
a tranquil paddle my day’s goal
as nature’s virtues I extol
