The current of your river is constant and swift
until it curves lazily
past willow tree touches on beaches
where stones
have been reduced to mineral grains
glinting in the sunlight
and god is a dragonfly's wing
frozen in flight
until I exhale
below dark waters

and breathe you in once more.

There is just something about a river...

this was deftly sweet but astute. Like you've been river fishing all your life, and knowing its ways...

Lovely!

A pleasurable read, especially enjoyed this:

"and god is a dragonfly's wing
frozen in flight"

Midnite-
There are so many places in nature to catch a moment of grace and meditation, aren't there.
Am smiling that you caught one of mine.

Blues-
Happy to take you traveling like a leaf on my river of a poem. :-)

Indi does her river like whispering silk across broken glances. Covering the jagged and undoing the perfect currents.

A wonderful metaphor for what the depth of a relationship can be or become. Loved the contrast between the heights referencing the dragonfly and the depths of narrator as amphibian. Isn't it amazing what love can grow into - what a tadpole can become...as a mature extension of being.
