Convergent thoughts...
carrying once-reclusive souls
from separate sheltered coves,
cascade past love’s dams and rapids
tumbling willing minds and hearts
inside passion’s swirling vortex
with emotions’ turbulent rush,
merging in rogue-river confluence...
seeking sanctuary in peaceful moments
to tame the roiling anxiety and debris
of life’s high watermarks,
and pool at journey’s end
in spirit-mates
serene embrace.

A ‘river’ of thought
ultimately bringing
separate, lonely ‘spirit-mate’
souls together in physical and
emotional ‘confluence’ via
a serene and soothing...
healing 'embrace' of love
(beyond life’s chaos; etc.)...

what a grand-fine analogy and imagery!!

sustained applause!!

That was beautiful and wonderful use of the language. As an Oregonian I love the "Rogue River" reference.

Oh the pools from which these pearls come from are bright and glistering...created by the well spring of your lucid mind..thank you..

Love the "flow" of this...
and the sound.
You've captured the feelings well.

I must go refind your waterfall poem
now, too....3 years ago, I think.

I came back for another 'read' of this one!

I especially loved:

"merging in rogue-river confluence...
seeking sanctuary in peaceful moments
to tame the roiling anxiety and debris
of life’s high watermarks..."

REALLY fine!!
