Sticky shadows from my boots
Crossing the blue-eyed pool,
Lost in the frozen ferns of afar,
The day at end.
I gaze spellbound at the wild fish,
Gasping at my feet, loosed,
Ready to resume her remarkable,
Rendezvous with redds unbuilt.
My eyes are ablaze with reflections,
Of chrome sided flanks,
With just a touch of ruby red,
Deep forest, mighty and green.
So powerful, so determined,
So wild and so new,
And thus, my perfect beauty,
I am setting you free.
Thanking the river, the sea,
The forest, green and golden,
Flying with the eagles,
I have set myself free.
