Midnight Joy

The jingle of the hooks as we got in the boat

The slow ripples on the emerald water

All around us smooth glass

Sycamores and oak line the water

While lilies doted here and there

The gentle whisper of the wind

As though it were a gentle kiss

Then a twitch and another

I rush to the pole

To fight the monster on the other end

It was looking for an easy meal

Not as easy as it thought

I struggle with all the might I have

Just to find it would also

The epic battle between man and monster

Fish and Human

And like a rush of euphoria

It's mine.
