Riverbanks The rain spreads its liquid thoughts Formally, emotional highlights dropped by jigger Into the waiting mouth agape with promised vigor Then rolling out in circular breaths Melding with warmer thoughts and cooler depths Gliding on mahogany skiff Each stroke you make sends quiet rift You steal my vision as a thief steals gems From the center to the shallow hems Resilience, your soft song must belong to fate Calming the rise and fall of impatient wait Synchronicity of speech within this peaceful state Moving me to tears, dropped in stared commiserate Lapping to the river banks pursuant dreams Growing at the edge of all time deems Full, the arms of willows, birch and wild oak Along the riverbanks, daub dews invoke Copyright Kkh 4/7/08 |

Kkh, I love it when tree arms sweep the currents. And, don't you ever wonder how the water gets it sparkle. I had a friend (she was three) who told me that mermaids came out at night and waxed the water to make it shine. I keep looking but never see them. I really like this poem. Alison |

This makes me want to go there in the early evening and watch it flow through the night… Beautiful. Tammy<333 |
