In the lurking


 In the lurking

John Clare Stokes


One I felt was following

My every paddle stroke matching

I’d pause, it would pause

Increase cadence, it too

Pulling into the cool shade

I awaited the expected fate

When the whisper came near

Friend, I’m glad you stopped to rest with me.

I was here all along.
