CANAL ...

CANAL ..







On one side ...
Lies a lichened wall ...

On the other ...
Distant vista
Of mountains.

The canal ...
In between ...

A green tunnel ...

A thin ribbon 
Of green sheen.

Gnarled, knotty trunks ...
Stretch arching arms ...
Overhead ... 
Protectingly ...

Creating a leafy nave ...
A comforting cave.

Huddled ... 
Snuggled ...
As cosy as can be ...

In doubled-up duvets ...
I'm the Princess
Of the Pea…..
Lying on a soft cloud….

Slow, soporific, tock
Of the clock…
A quiet whisper ...
Barely aloud.....

All is peace ...

Invisible ...
Infrequent ...
Bleat of sheep ...

Huddled ...
Cuddled ...
Comfortably ...

I'm easing into sleep.
