Being Known Prompt / Haiku It!
Sultry Waters
A haiku
boats bobble in blue sultry summery moments waves tickle the shore
I was raised on the water — Lodge Creek, a tributary of the Potomac River in Virginia. Now, I live on a lake in Florida. Water is my spiritual place. I always feel calmer and more centered when I’m near a body of water, be it a lake, river, stream, or the ocean.
On a recent day trip to Green Cove Springs, 50 miles east of my home, I was delighted to spend hours near the St. John’s River. Now, I’m planning another day trip and water will be the destination. Maybe, the Gulf on the west coast. Maybe, the beach on the east coast. Maybe, one of the thousands of lakes in this state of blue waters.
I feel known when I’m near water.
