A River Is a Poem

We hear your echoing melody.

Echoes wash against the shore.

carrying tons of weight

of time, distance, space.

Stratifications mark your passing,

rush, ebb, and flow,

like a heart beating in the moonlight tied flows.

Until infinity,

you throb and cradle mysteries.

A river is a poem.
