The sea

Leaves in the water
Sit almost perfectly still.
With each coarse ripple,
They tremble and shake,
Inching closer to the shore
And our gently rustling boat.

When we step onto the boat,
We row out in the water,
Pushing further from the shore.
Into the middle of the lake, where
The air stands still.
Our boat will creak and shake causing…
The water towards the shore to ripple.
