Journey Into Spring: May 15, 2019

Another fine day and the fish come one after the other, like stringing beads.

"Before Quiet" by Hazel Hall

"Water Lilies" Claude Monet 1906

I will think of water-lilies

Growing in a darkened pool,

And my breath shall move like water,

And my hands be limp and cool.

It shall be as though I waited

In a wooden place alone;

I will learn the peace of lilies

And will take it for my own.

If a twinge of thought, if yearning

Come like wind into this place,

I will bear it like the shadow

Of a leaf across my face.

Oh my.

It's cool again, but the fish are still warmed up. Some bigger bugs are hatching, but it's the tiny midges covering the water that have their interest.
