A Poem For Today - River

[kdick...@aol.com]

River

It is a rare night

down along the river,

a sheet of glass repeating

"I am water."

The lights upon it

do not dance, but strike

and go down forever.

This river has forgotten

the way to the sea,

it will wander the earth

like a liquid spleepwalker

stopping people on the street

and asking, 

"have I arrived?"

Cole Swensen

[John Jai Conley]

Lovely poem, and, if I came upon a “spleepwalker,” I would probably run like hell. 🤪

The way you look at things is the most powerful force in shaping your life.
