Jim van den Bos
He has no need to introduce himself to anyone
But to the grass and the busy bees buzzing about
The lone biker passing wins a wave and a wink
And the water gets his loving gaze for the afternoon
He has no need to use his words for the day
But he does mutter musings of melodies from his youth
His happy memories filling the gaps of waiting
Until his line catches a hold of something hidden
He has no need to explain his actions this day
The fish understand the game and the free food
He treats them softly as he unhooks them
Freedom gifted back to them and himself
He has no need to do anything on this day
The earned time from working all his life
All his existence he had done so much, so now
He has no need to do anything but enjoy
The swaying of the grass and the buzzing of the busy bees.
