where ever the fly fishing is good

Chapter 2

T’were a pool of fates perplexion
that beckoned forth my line fall.
To its languid waters
Hued in cues of blue
flowing as crystals.

I still remember her banks
from softer bare foot
summer days .
When cool mud
had slipped between
my toes as a youth.
.
Mighty oaks poured out
before me
still holding their hallowed ground.
Though they had long since
lost their vibrance.
They revealed to me
the many lines sent
long before that of me.
Only to meet their fate
on the twig and limb
of encroachment over water.
Though countless more
danced in eternal ebb
with their moss and bedrock captores.

But through studying the flow
hope could be found.
For a line presented in perfection
would be what you choose.

Though numerous lines had gone before.
This one was loaded in love
charging forth in compassion.
Its song in air was but a whisper
as it kissed the water silent.

It was reaching! -
Reaching out for you
in the depths
of darks despair.

While I wondered
when you’d come to know
the point of truth
in your mouth.

My answer came every so fleeting
in bowed rod and rejoicing reel .
As you,
you fought your way
out of the depths.
So your silvered body
would once again glisten
the passion of light
as a pink sash
down your side.
While the freckles
that adorn you
reflect the sacred path
of angels lips
in loves delight
over you.

Oh but to land your beauty
in my net
and once again fill my creel
with the essence
of your love.
That I might carry it forth
one last time to a world
of hunger and pain …
But could the brilliance
of your beauty be known
in truths knowledge
to such a world.
I dare to hope, but in you...

I heard the music of the zipping line, and recalled the feel of the fish, still in the water.

A wonderful wake up read.

"While the freckles

The "sacred path" thats the one that leads us to where the river runs through heaven.
I know it well, been on it many times, know where it leads and why you seek it....it is the "road less traveled by"

The grass on it bends towards the river which you speak of here it this placid verse...

In it, always rise the caddis and white gloved howdy, coffin flys and March browns...and your line never slaps the water, every cast is a double haul-60 footer...

Tight lines brother, thank you for the poem...(and the preview)

Ice man, I hope to run in to you on that sacred path some day. Maybee then we can get a little fishin done. You know the best thing about heavens waters bro, is that their wont be a snake in the grass. Oh and if their was youd see a fat man walk on water.lol
