The Boat
By heathenpoetry
As I gently soared above the world,
the most amazing thing asked my
eyes down,
and as I gazed through the silver mountains
I saw
it.
it was a small boat,
gliding along stilled waters.
Just
gliding, nothing else, it was perfect.
It's sails showed the softest
of curves as the mellow breeze accompanied it up the river.
It wasn't
going anywhere in particular,
Just going.
And i watched for hours
as it eased through the water,
the tiny wake behind it; overlapping
gently like liquid glass-
-Then stilling itself to rest with the world
I stared in silence.
You go little boat,
Not a care in the
world as you whisk along
And don't you look back now,
Don't you
ever look back

Felt like a metaphor for watching anyone excel at anything in life and being able to appreciate its momentum to me. Interesting imagery used here I enjoyed it.
