With each dip
and pull through the water
you propel me into a natural hush
quieting my mind and muffling the world’s dissonance
peace ripples through my being
each stroke guides me back
renewed and ready to face
the waves of my life.

I was standing in my garage today and noticed my kayak paddle. For some reason, it stuck in my head as the topic for this poem. I wanted to thank this unnoticed thing for everything it give to me.
