Dharma Kayak

A stiff breeze

Over the shoulder

Driving me homeward

Between water and sky

To be advancing

Palindromically

Paddle in hand

Perfectly balanced

Forward and aft

Digging into my ribs

With a core dip of the abs

As the water beads

And dances

Along the blade’s

Curved edge

Making maximal progress

With minimal effort

Only becomes possible

When we are thus  

Inward aligned

With all three elements 
Earth water and sky
