Moored up against an island br in the middle of nowhere br ......is paradise. br br Sunshine to warm me. br A waterfall to fill my ears br with the sound of the natural world, br its diamonds cascading endlessly br to break into chips at the bottom. br br Butterflies and dragonflies dance, br taking their nectar from the rosebay willowherb br and common ragwort br on the river banks. br br Greater burdock hang, batlike, from the ceiling br of the boat, br drying out to adorn a winter afloat. br br Peace reigns. br br No pains, br No chains to bind me, br No fetters, br What could be better? br br Peace reigns.
