Lift up

For the moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.
Therefore
lift your drooping hands and strengthen your weak knees, and make straight paths for your feet, so that what is lame may not be put out of joint but rather be healed.
Hebrews 12:11-13.

The Dougon of Bob

 

Dougon by john clare

i came upon the dougon
far from Suwannee facing down
plying the open blue sky
paddle strokes never dying
 rippling toward the gulf
against eternal shores brush

in dougon two friends
gliding quietly over springs
into the dark river narrows
past the flowing forevers
to the tupelo honey haven
 ripples by paddles making

golden streams only dougon knows
beyond the bends and  rocky shoals
scribed upon the back
every scrape and water lap
still the ripple in the shade
til once again currents assuade.
