Old Sol and River
Virginia Salter

Old Sol burns a hole
into the water
stretches across grasses
tickles trees
with summer warmth on their west
as evening approaches
bringing a cooling to their east

weeping birch
lengthens its arms
caresses ground
and passers by

sitting here in God’s world
heartbeat of river’s flow
ripples amber and rose
as sun’s glow lows

dips behind trees and hills, a refreshing cool
kisses the back of my neck
wraps its arms around my shoulders
tenderly serenading
me in serenity.

Virginia....Can't believe I missed this one. I love the sounds in this....as quiet as the river. Super! Bob

Thanks, doubly, Bob!

Today and tomorrow I'm subbing in a room with a student teacher so I'll mostly be observing and assisting if she should request it. Just making things legal, certified person present. I said certified not certifiable, mind you. Anyway, I'm expecting to have some time at the computer because of the nature of this job.
