Fishing Poem by David Wood

Unite with bank and water
Flare nostrils to river smells,
Witness flow streaming
Search far side eagerly.

Sit uniting hook and line.
Low level sun breaking through,
Mist rising.
Damp grass holding rushes.

Kiss hook with bait,
Cast.
Silently sitting, drinking coffee.
Float searching for prey.

Being deft by the sliding float
The prow breaking waves gently.
Become invisible.
Camouflaged stillness.

Tweak line, bubbles looking.
Universe sinking brain thinking
Come back to life, look, stare.
Light and shade kissing.

The world revolves.
