Poetry - Untitled

Traversing through the unknown

Obsessed with the mysterious beaver that has eluded me in the past

My eyes fixated, nothing can sway the objective


Busting through thick brush

Blazing a new trail


I arrive at a obstacle unlike any I have faced thus far

It causes me to stop and evaluate

Is all of this worth it? Upon reaching the destination, will the outcome be what I hoped? Am I in over my head?

While pondering my next step I look out to see you


I’ve never seen you in this way

The water reflecting your elegance

Once sharp details are blurred

The wake in the water causes you to dance back and forth

Like a flag blowing in a gentle wind


This dance is not one you could do by yourself

Pelicans roosting, ducks hunting, and the elusive beaver tail slapping the water

All these things individual within themselves, work together allowing you to dance for me



I thank you for the show but I have to move on

I have a beaver see so I will say so long


Moon reflecting in Calamus Reservior, Burwell, Nebraska.
