Silence Over Pale Water

Chill, steaming vapour; Silence over pale water; Above the east gate... Thin ribbons in the pink Light. I dip oars...and silence Breaks.

Hello John Fleming, I felt like I was there with the oar in water breaking the silence. I find just by hearing the sound of water moving to shore, relaxing. Enjoyed this poem. Enjoy your day my friend. Be safe.
