Inland Waterways

As our barge chugs along
while on deck I sing my song,
a wave we gesture as we pass
to those relaxing on the grass,

the bark of dog I did hear...
while sipping on my ice cold beer,
time to ponder on people I've met
I light a candle so too reflect,

so we moor up for the night,
the bats we see...three take flight,
the gentle flit of many moths
I watch them dance the light across,

as the night is now ours
in dreams we climb up to the stars,
the night is peaceful and tranquil...
with only us two lying still.
