Fishing for Breakfast

Out of the tent

Into cold morning air

Scattered fog hovers in the gorge

A lingering ghost

Fading in twilight

Rippling stream

Heard, but not seen

Over the knoll

Down through the trees

Splash cold water on the face

Hike upstream to a promising place

Where the white water lulls

The water pools deep

Piece of corn on a hook

Bobber up three feet

Sit still after casting

Mind somewhat trancing

Enjoying the peace

Then the bobber starts dancing

Others still sleep

And that is just fine

Breakfast looks good

Got a trout on the line
