This is what it is like for me in the autumn stillness of first light...
----------Anticipation-----------
Bright crisp morning.
Trolling for salmon.
Quiet, so quiet.
Just a purr of the motor
Anticipating with hope
Skill, courage and guile
Ready for action
So ready for more
Soon it will happen
The feeling abounds!
The rod will stiffen
And yes it goes down
So long I have waited
Like a pup at the door
Is it a want or a need?
This great anticipation.
Simple changes or not?
Challenge the methods
Keeping the confidence
It just feels so right
The mind drifts away
Faraway places and times
Until the moment…
Anticipation is rewarded!
