there is a time when you want to be left alone <br />like an empty boat <br />left in the quiet still waters of the lake <br />above you the white clouds drifting on the blue skies <br />below you the transparency of the clear depths <br />fish swim beneath you minding only their own separate lives <br />weeds along the side of the lake growing without eyes and ears<br /><br />RIC S. BASTASA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-empty-boat-in-the-lake/
