The Joys Of Kayaking Poem by gina layog

water surrounds me, constantly,
it undulates beneath me,
its motion, soothing, gliding, lulling,
lts sound so seductively, caress,
unduly stresses, it slowly undress,

paddling renews in me,
the sense of peace and wonder,
brings in the child, long surrendered,
rejuvinates the soul,
brings me back home,
where to nature's bosom
I truly belong,


paddling lets me free,
distance me from the din of society
glues my sanity,
opens my mind to creativity,
empowering my whole being profoundly


paddling is contentment,
brings back memories, carefree and pleasant
I'm one with the water, I'm in my element,
outdoors always a pure enjoyment,
nature's vista, its colors pleasurable,
its hidden bounty, its secret joy,
silent beauty uncomparable.....
It always takes my breath away,
truly inspires me in no other way...
