There\u2019s a certain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
beauty<\/p>\n\n\n\n
in the rhythmic,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
hypnotic sway<\/p>\n\n\n\n
of their<\/p>\n\n\n\n
arms,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
as they rapidly<\/p>\n\n\n\n
pass,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
water so still<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the paddles cut<\/p>\n\n\n\n
clean through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently they<\/p>\n\n\n\n
lead<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Something a <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What I can<\/p>\n\n\n\n
do <\/p>\n\n\n\n
though,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
is feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Feel what<\/p>\n\n\n\n
it\u2019s like<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to be<\/p>\n\n\n\n
truly in <\/p>\n\n\n\n
my own<\/p>\n\n\n\n
body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Of being<\/p>\n\n\n\n
on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Free.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No urgent email.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Not even <\/p>\n\n\n\n
a friendly dog <\/p>\n\n\n\n
to pet,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
or feed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
with my<\/p>\n\n\n\n
soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There\u2019s a certain<\/p>\n\n\n\n
stillness,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
despite <\/p>\n\n\n\n
the choppy waves,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and the <\/p>\n\n\n\n
tearing wind,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
which I<\/p>\n\n\n\n
cannot describe,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
yet invite you<\/p>\n\n\n\n
to feel,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
for<\/p>\n\n\n\n
yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
