I travail, by this stream alone overcome by shame, with heart of stone do this one thing, for all else atone the river and I, together moan I take the tattered thread of pride and shape the shattered shreds inside from the taunting world, forever hide While the river softly sighed My thoughts decrease in disparate rings No escape, no hope for wings No optimism in purged out things As, just the river slowly sings My life is bleeding out my eyes betrayal of trust, and only lies the duty of must, negates my despise When the river coolly cries I turn away, my grieving is done holding my life, turned into stone clutching life's ashes away from the sun The river burbles, uncaring, alone. Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

This is quite well done, Kethry... The river does keep on flowing where ever we happen to meet its banks - It'll just pass on by us if we don't pay attention... I like this piece..  |

Kethry, this is such a brilliant write from you. Utterly glittering like the sun on the river this shines. I love it, I know when don't I, but it's always true I do. Beauty that you write always captures my soul. Take care Slushy Mushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |
