At Rest on Morovo Lagoon
Oceans of silence calm the mind,
The day, humid heavy as the air,
Lightened by the cadence of bird calls,
chipper songs Lost among the canopy
Or in a moment Disturbed by the quiet
Puttering of a fish boat sidling away
Its change of heart and muffled calls
Jetty to shore as sound waves
Flatten out smooth as surface water
Out on the edge sunlight
diamonds the rippling Current
Light waves breaking to a pastel palette
white greyness of cumulus answering the soft jade sea
Pockets of shadowed reflection where land, sand
agree To shade some silent swimmers
There is a constancy when waves subside
Time stills with the calm, the quiet
Forgets the day and hour
passages are marked and measured
Now by nuanced waves of light
Gently impressing the urgency
to learn, to see, different.
