what shores await

i see the old man
in the lake
with his ancient boat,
creases in the planks
taking on water.
he's wearing his green hat,
his favorite shirt,
his hands are on the oars,
pulling, pulling
against
the thickness of water.
he's still rowing,
still moving,
still alive and wondering
what shore he'll
arrive at next.
