roaring waterfall
cannot drown out raging men
nor quell my fury
dream of stealing boat
ride out waves to edge of pain
never to return
dawn breaks with promise
yet men stalk prey like herons
calm waters belie
lingering summer
accumulate exhaustion
full color palette
heart startles to throat
everything obscured by mist
vision and landscape
immerse in nature
stillness breeds anxiety
long to hibernate
calm anxiety
scour memory for her
feeling off kilter
