The Scenic Route

Six pack and a canoe at midnight
Moonless, star-filled sky
Inky creek surrounds us
Conversation at a high

Six pack and a canoe after midnight
Shooting stars in the sky
Stirrings in the creek around us
Listening to an owl nearby

Six pack and a canoe at daybreak
Faint light streaks the sky
Paddling toward a landing
Amazing how time flies by
