Georgian Narrative
The waves wash
To the shore
As with ages gone before.
And westerly wind
Gives posture
To the pine.
And the gulls laugh
As they float
With a heckling
Sort of note.
Oh dear Voyageur.
Might you have
Days like mine.
One small Rocky Isle
Stands out.
One lone Pine
As if devout
Recalls thunderstorm
That took away
His Twin.
Feeding on the lichens crude
And by precious Sun
Renewed
He has wed the Rock
And all her tales within.
Grey and blue and green
All mixing
With red evening sun
Transfixing.
Richer view, no mortal
Eyes have ever seen.

Ah yes, Georgian Bay.
