Of rivers it is said the pulse of God flows free
A gathering of hidden aches to fill by drop
Until by storm full density of tears takes flee
It is the thunder on the earth that cannot stop

Of rivers it is said that restless heartache rushes to the sea
Until the flood is through and empty of resistance
A glorious release of damned emotions mightily
It is the flowing strength of sheer persistence

Of rivers once to empty of the swell tranquility
A simple state of greatness to meander
In place to wait another flood and gallantly
It is said of rivers role a wise bystander

Awesome Kathy....

yes...think about it...where is civilization
without the flow of mighty rivers...

our electricity,  our water,  our crops,
moving of goods,  fish for our tables,
the small plants, animals that feed from
the rivers....

Gosh...this could go on into infinity...

You really got me to thinking with this one.
Thanx Kathy..

I love the soft depth of this one, Kathleen.
