The wooden planks are carefully shaped

for my cedar canoe

Many days of floating with the wind -

many paddle strokes ahead.

The water is waiting for the maiden voyage

of my cedar canoe.

Many warm summer mornings together

with so many things to do.

As the bow slices through the glassy surface,

straight as an arrow and silent as the breeze.

I’m gliding along

through the misty reflection of the trees

in my cedar canoe.
