In a secluded place
I have found my retreat
on this pier
water on my feet
In the brevity of the day
contemplating my thoughts
away from the world
what lessons are taught
Dangling my pole
out of the water jumps a fish
making a perfect circle
I make a wish
A theme for life
how much fun it would be
if there was a plan
specifically for me
Surrounded by the mountains
each day carries new life
a unique adventure
sometimes filled with strife
Things planned out
that would be so easy
nothing would go wrong
never a thought of being crazy
But for me
that would not be fun
must feel the soil
freedom to run
Excitement each day
a new adventure to happen
joy in my heart
each day a new passion
Picking up my pole
turning to leave
fish continue to jump in the water
I can finally breathe

Piper's Adventures 
Oh wow! I’d be a very happy boy living by the edge of that pier. Your beautiful words make it the most relaxing place on earth!
Thank you. Piers are so relaxing especially if you are fishing. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
I’ve never fished with a rod before. I’ve done trout tickling though for survival training. My favourite thing is just to sit and relax by the water with my Lucy dog and camera.
That sounds like fun. There is something comforting about sitting by the water taking pictures and having a wonderful companion. Have a great day!
There sure is. Nothing nicer.
if there is a plan for me, I do wish they’d let me in on it.
I agree. It would make life much easier for me but not near as much fun. Thanks for reading. Have a wonderful day!
Wow! So so beautiful! You are so talented Debbie! ❤ xoxo
