In the early morning, as the sun yawns and lets out her first light ray
two fishermen walk through the flooded bushes, searching for fish.
Inside cooler waters a silent lake says, " Take your time, take your time"
The sun slow at it's highest point drips with gold and continues to splay
while fish with their caudal fins and tails, kick forward into refreshing waters,
enjoying cool oxygen moments of grace, before the water gets too hot.
"Take your time, take your time" says the dawn
pink and purple, saffron yellow, with a touch of golden mellow.
Two buddies side by side, just like Abbott and Costello
catching fish and then releasing, into the undulated waves.
The sound of a female duck quacking in the distance,
followed by six mallard duckling babies, dark chocolate brown
with fuzzy yellow tails, wagging happily;
They appear to be saying, " take your time, take your time"
In the noon day sun an open tackle box and an empty thermos.
A passerby says " caught any fish yet?"
the fisherman smiles, not yet, they are just taking their time.
What a wonderful fish story! No lies about the one that got away. Just the tranquil morning of waiting for the fish to get hungry enough to go for the bait of the patient fisherman.
You remind me of the times I couldn't wait to get to the water in the morning just for the peace and quiet whether I caught anything or not. I felt like I was there with you. But instead of the casting rod with artificial lure. A more patient time is needed for those with a bobber and a live bait of a worm, grub or even a minnow, until the bobber pops under and the excitement begins.
This is so true. It brought back wonderful memories of when I used to fish a lot with my brother in law. He is gone now, and I sort of drifted away from fishing but maybe it's time I should reconsider...
