sitting on the grassy bank between two willow trees, each sagging low as if trying to lap up the cool fresh water while a young egret flies overhead calling out to the impending night. A little tugboat races about leaving turbulent turbulence trying to squeeze one last bit of work into the fading day. but the river, she keeps on moving, never faster, never slower ignorant to time's passing and little waves ripple against her age old banks singing a song to me. so i rest my weary eyes and inundate my soul with the tune and fill my heart with the peace that insues. |

I love the imagery. Beautiful.. To oppose you is to deny the heart of friendship... To join you is to deny the heart of humanity. I am the earth... the fire... you are the sea and wind. Should we together be god? Or apart be nemesis... |
