Fisherman Elsecar

He sits by a river and waits
What does he contemplate?
Still but running deep
What secrets does he keep?
Life is all around
But doesn’t make a sound
Can he hear the trees?
Whisper to the breeze?
Does he see two fish?
Catch a fleeting kiss?
Trapped inside his net
Slippery and wet.
Does he feel the warm?
Of the approaching dawn?
Is all that it seems?
Painted in my dreams?
