 ~It’s impossible here in the standing still of time to not reflect on the years this life we’ve led together~ I listen to the waters rush and remember my own hurry wanting everything all at once my ignorance then of the journey now I watch our oldest in that same hurry not understanding that the bends in the river are some of life’s sweetest spots that she should slow long enough to linger in the light and let the water prune her toes just a little bit before the current carries her too far away, too quickly I hope in her stone stepping she remembers you can’t always see the slime on the rocks you think will be the best footing when you try to reach the other side sometimes the best you can do is jump in and wade a bit swim a bit, float when you can and when a hand is held out from solid ground take it. ~SEA~ |

oh Sea, it has certainly been way to long since I've read one of your compositions....this gave me a fresh new crisp feeling...richly filled with family and self awareness mixed with self exploration, you make the reader smile, remembering...how we are not to different beings in our emotions, fondness and care for our loved ones......hugs and thank you for this fabulously constructed time piece. |

Hi, SEA! Whenever I click on a title of yours, I know that I am in for a fine poetic treat! "...the bends in the river are some of life’s sweetest spots that she should slow long enough to linger in the light" Those lines alone, were worth the read!!! I absolutely love them! Actually, the entire poem is worthy of quoting!  Loving Light 'n a big, warm hug, EA |
