I watch the river flowing,
fluid and fluent.
Think of all I have
been given;
the blessing of rivers
my metaphor:
at the future
coming at me.
Looking downstream
at the past,
beyond change.
Giving back what I've been given;
the gifts of time and place.
My poems,
written on these rivers,
like time, have drifted past.
Placing my hand
into the live current,
I want to give
this feeling to you,
if only I could grasp it.
