River Winding

Meandering, my path does glide
through mountain passes, gaps and slides
where, then, when reached, the other side,
I smoothly turn to lake
most placid in the wake
of wanderings made through the pines
as barricades of different kinds
brought twists and turns and bends and winds
that metaphor does make
me out to be a snake,
but, I think, more, that I should be
a fortitude, a simile
of something that is flowing free,
an advocate of life.



God bless,
Lighthouse Bob

You certainly are an advocate for life yourself Bob.

Loved this!

This is permeated with deep awareness and peace. Beautifully envelopping.

Insightful and captivating write, dear Bob.

Very nice, Bob.  A great meander through life, with good humour, and, on this forum, good company.  Well written, sir.

Love this place that your poem took me too.
There is much beauty in your metaphors and similes.  You are quite
