April 13 - Beneath the Darkling Sky

Beneath a Darkling Sky.

Whenever I find a patch of water

   I look for something to float upon it.
Those two things together and

   A sun to shine down on it.

Perfect plus a summer breeze

   Waves chuckling against the hull
As I press my boat along

   Beneath the darkling sky.
Still there’s always light ahead,

   Reflected in river, lake or pond.

Always there’s some brightness,

   Calling me over and beyond.
