Gone Fishing

You are sitting in a small wooden boat 

On a beautiful lake in the mountains 

You can see the caps of the mountains 

Pine trees are all around 

The scent of pine fills your lungs

It is refreshing 

Your dog is with you 

A German Shepherd 

Named Sam

It is a warm perfect day

With a cool breeze that blows across your face ever so slightly 

It feels good against your skin

The water is calm 

Just a few ripples from fish 

The lake is crystal clear 

You can see to the bottom of it

There are small fish swimming about 

You watch them for a while 

Entranced by their movements 

You put finally something on the end of your fishing pole to attract a fish 

You are hoping for a trout 

You then cast your line into the lake and wait

You pull out your book and stretch out your legs to relax 

Your dog settles in for a nap

You love these moments 

They are so peaceful and calm

You love the stillness of the place
