waves of strangers flood on by
upon a concrete river walk
so rare to ever catch their eye
rarer still to hear them talk
a flow of lives that cross and still
can not appease their troubled minds
they do the work that others will
to live within their self set binds
some try to swim against the stream
to follow hearts and not demands
they struggle with a dying dream
and watch as it escapes their hands
only to find that they must learn
to fall back down within the flow
it matters not for what they yearn
only what others told them so

The depth in this is wonderful Kevin! Not only did I enjoy the sentiments, but the structure and flow was exceptional.  Perhaps I relate so well with it ... still swimming against the stream and refusing to fall back into that concrete sidewalk flow. Excellent descriptive verse, I really enjoyed this!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

Kevin: This is a great piece. It is so easy to identify with. There is so much emotion is such a small amount of time. I love it.

Kevin this was great. The flow and scheme of it all was great. The meaning was so true, i agree with it all. Hopefully those who swim against the swim down drown in the under-toe


I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
