RIVER REVERIE
9 October 2012

Reflections of faces
in the quiet chapters
of the maturing river,
gently ruffled in ripples
spreading bonding circles
outwards
outwards
outwards . . .

Outward into infinity, Owl . . . Faces of yesterday . . . Faces of tomorrow . . .

Hmmm,...Owl, your poem like all the poems, on my monitor, has become a part of the river of dreams and the response reflections become the quiet chapters as the river grows.

Yes, and I sense a bonding, too, as the circles spread outward...and beyond...as I skip a rock...thank you for the inward experience. It works! RV

bravo diana, j'aime comment les visages créent un phénomène de propagation, comme des souvenirs peut être ? c'est comme si la rivière était magique et magicienne, j'aime beaucoup,

Oh, my, I could feel the river and it captured me in the ripples.

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Merci beaucoup, Yann, comme d’habitude, tu as raison et ta vision poétique et gentille vois la coeur des poèmes que tu lis – oui, les visages dans l’eau sont vraiment des visages de hier (et sont comme des souvenirs de hier), mais aussi des rêves d’aujourd’hui et de demain et l’occasion de réfléchir à toute chose qui entre dans mon esprit de ce que je vois d’une façon poétique, dans l’eau.  J’aime tellement ton image de la rivière comme magique et magicienne, et cela renfonce ce que j’ai toujours cru – qu’un lecteur d’un poème (ou quelqu’un qui voit un tableau) peut (mais pas toujours) voir quelque chose qui est vraiment là, dont le poète (ou le peintre) n’avais pas su, avant qu’on l’a montré.

Thank you, Vas, for feeling my poem, so clearly.

Thank you, Bruce.  Glad you thought so.
