Canoes and Portage Memories
Floating silently on this river
Dreaming of days yet to come
With gentle persuasion this current
takes me to places
I have no memory of
Only this beauty is familiar
And I want to remember
This river has bends and
Small bays that sometimes
Hold this fragile craft
Floating silently on this river
Dreaming of days yet to come
With gentle persuasion this current
takes me to places
I have no memory of
Only this beauty is familiar
And I want to remember
This river has bends and
Small bays that sometimes
Hold this fragile craft
and keep it from moving
for what seems like an eternity
And then suddenly
The wind picks up
And moves this canoe
Along
To continue on it’s journey
Of dreams
Birch trees clinging to
Rocky shores
Seem brave
And unafraid of a future
That has no tomorrow
Existing in an endless day
In this natural world
Filled with only a moment
To be cherished forever
There’s a waterfall up ahead
Another portage is waiting
Carrying my precious and fragile craft
On this trail
for what seems like an eternity
And then suddenly
The wind picks up
And moves this canoe
Along
To continue on it’s journey
Of dreams
Birch trees clinging to
Rocky shores
Seem brave
And unafraid of a future
That has no tomorrow
Existing in an endless day
In this natural world
Filled with only a moment
To be cherished forever
There’s a waterfall up ahead
Another portage is waiting
Carrying my precious and fragile craft
On this trail
I remember
A portage I took in another
Time
And pause to reflect and understand
That this is the life
A portage I took in another
Time
And pause to reflect and understand
That this is the life
