River She Deeply ponder of me, as if I were the morning Dampened in rain jewels, quiet strength still dawning Follow, if you will, pink pedicure along my banks Dally at the still place in my heart, and peaceful flanks Know my gentle breezes, the tender rustling that stirs your soul Waiting barefoot, just outside your secret places, there I stroll As certain as the flood of moonlight, will our contours silhouette Dive the deep disclosures, shimmered gold in each sunset Ponder of my tides and time will seem a flute played sweet Lapping in the waters of your dreams, as liquid light beneath your feet As if I were the morning, velvet folds of night will fall away Then think the thoughts that surface so profoundly, as we sway Ride the currents of the mystic sounds escaped my mouth Play within the rapids at my side, that move us both Wander every niche and bounty; wake me in each morning light Ponder me as if I was the morning, first and foremost in your sight Copyright Kkh 5/16/09 |

Deeply ponder of me, as if I were the morning Dampened in rain jewels, quiet strength still dawning Follow, if you will, pink pedicure along my banks Dally at the still place in my heart, and peaceful flanks And this: Ponder me as if I was the morning, first and foremost in your sight Incredible. Who wouldn't ponder you first and foremost TD? They would be crazy not too. |

"Lapping in the waters of your dreams, as liquid light beneath your feet As if I were the morning, velvet folds of night will fall away" Simply beautiful writing. |

You dress this blue page in finery with these lines: Lapping in the waters of your dreams, as liquid light beneath your feet As if I were the morning, velvet folds of night will fall away H |

Your river as your poetry never flourished, never drained of ink or potency |

This is incredibly beautiful. Every morning (it seems) I stop on my way to work to take pictures of the river. I love how the sun lights it up and dances on it. I love the color of the sky and seeing it reflected in the water. I love the river at dawn more than any time. I am lucky (usually) to live on one of its sloughs and I can watch it lazily (or rushing if I am not lucky) drift by. Thank you. Alison |

"Ponder of my tides and time will seem a flute played sweet Lapping in the waters of your dreams, as liquid light beneath your feet" Beautiful and lyrical, delighting both visual and auditory senses. |

What a soothing treat of a poem this is. Your words were the camera shots as I floated above and along. Shenandoah, playing quietly in the background.(I just love that song) |
