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. ~AF~ "Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement." Christopher Fry |

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 |
