A new beginning upon a sleepy river, promising tranquility and the gentle currents of safe guidance...

Sounds appealing.

This has a very special softness, dear Bill, like an invitation to glide along in dreams on this sleepy river.

Very beautiful and I love the picture too, though the colors suggest an autumnal scene.

But Spring is conveyed in your words, that's enough!

Love,
Margherita

I love how the water is so glassy and tends to mirror loves reflection.

Especially enjoyed the feelings that ripple across the page.

Nicely done, BC~

Sounds wonderful and yes, maybe dreaming of something new.  I can almost see the fish a "jumpin"

Beautiful write with a dreamy picture to boot.

   I see myself on that river dreaming and fishing. Love the graphics and as always love your poem. This one is one of my favorites.

Bill,  As always I enjoyed  your words.  I live in Idaho not far from the Mighty Snake River and this picture could have been taken from here( altho, I'm sure it is not.) You have a way of finding just the right one to set the scene.

Good.

Oh, Bill! How dreamily wonderful that would be to slip and slide on a slow, sleepy river of dreams!

You poem ~ and the photo ~ are so calming! Thanks! I needed that!
