Where boulders meet water And ripples cast Amidst bubbles and shimmering Reflections that imprint On the mind That is cleared both free and alert Eye level with nature Synchronised the breath Each stroke made deliberate To match with the speed Of the current which steers The thread of the river At one With the force that surrounds Gaining equilibrium holding the ground A freedom found All stress disappears A stillness reached Sights and sounds blend into one Patterns on the surface The canopy of trees The feel of the air The crisp cleansing within. Tingling sensors Energised Alive.
