Drifting through her thoughts
“On the Saco,’’ (which flows from New Hampshire’s White Mountains to the Gulf of Maine), by Benjamin Champney (1817-1907)
“I drift along aloof,
lost in the currents
of thoughts, floating
through a timeless
memory in the making.’’
— From “Kayaking— Saco River,’’ by New Hampshire-based poet Julie A. Dickson
