A River's Journey

As raging water cascades jagged rocks,
Nothing stops her perpetual motion...
As she lapping wiggles past fishing docks,
Current stops to admire the commotion...

As her lakes become human melting pots,
Vessels drift by into foggy white haze...
As fishermen wager for their choice spots,
Fishing lines tangle into murky grays...

As wayward river travels onward free,
Nature salutes her with a sunset smile...
As she surges restless unto the sea,
She knows God guided her all the while.

The river is a favorite of mine. I've traveled far and wide and I used to imagine it following me where ever I went. I love this piece. Wonderful writing! Thank you.
Sincerely,
Rwood

With all things considered, why not God?

I love this, Bob!! I have to admit, there has been a river everywhere I have lived thus far. It has always captured my attention and served as my sanctuary when times got tough. I feel such comfort sitting on the dock watching the water flow by. Wonderful work, my poet friend!!

by the grace of God.

Great piece of God's wonders. Thanks for the image. A river- ever moving, ever changing.

Ahhhh...so smoooth, like velvet, LHBob!

Makes a good metaphor for the meandering trails our lives
make with unexpected twists, and everyone dipping into
our rivers, but ultimately, the Hand of G*d guides us!
Thankx also for your welcoming reply, Bob....muchos gracis amigo! SR

A river reflects sheer determination to get where it wants to go. A guide for all of us. Very nice. Joyce
