 19 Game Warden's Day off

 

It was his day off.

He works six days a week,

checking stream levels,

checking fishing licenses,

checking hunting licenses,

taking care of injured animals,

and every once in a while,

answering a nuisance call,

from Mrs. Bocksteader,

to trap that porcupine,

that keeps on moving in,

under her front porch.

It was his day off,

but he remembered,

what he had observed,

while he was checking,

the stream levels,

at Bittersweet Creek.

There,

right there,

in the middle,

of the large pool,

at the bottom of,

the big wide falls,

where Isaac Brown’s,

saw mill once cut lumber.

It was there that he saw it,

and he had to – just had to,

visit his favorite headwaters,

on this day – his only day off.

He presented the brown dun,

to the old trout,

perfectly.

And he fooled old Mr. Trout,

for a moment,

and then,

old Mr. Trout,

threw the brown dun,

back to him.

So the field warden,

knew where he would

spend his next day off.

 18 Fishing the point

 

He named it “The Point.”

It was obvious why,

he had done so.

He took me there one day,

and I was honored.

He never took anyone else,

to this glorious place.

I asked him why,

he did not fish,

from the other side,

of the steep run.

It looked like,

a much more,

comfortable spot,

to fish from.

He told me,

that he had,

wasted many hours,

of good fishing time,

attempting to reach there.

There were mountains to cross,

large lakes and rivers,

that blocked his way,

and that he would,

show me on,

another day.

And then he smiled,

that wry grin,

that told me,

he had found,

in those wasted hours,

even more,

special spots,

that he would share,

only when he,

was ready,

to do so.

His whole lifetime,

had been used up,

in these mountains,

and he was quite satisfied,

that he had wasted them,

in such an apparent,

frivolous manner.

He was a man,

who was quite,

comfortable with,

his existence.
