rivers don't sleep and life is... what it is moving forward is the way the spirit that follows the way is content with life as it is |

rivers don't sleep and life is... what it is moving forward is the way yes exactly and how powerful a river can be, as well as tender and quiet! I came from the mountain |

that's cause they wanna be OCEANS.  (and lookit at YOU, looking like one of my favorite actresses--Kyra Sedgewick!!!)  I am a bit like a river too, I guess. I even slow down a bit at noon, and tend to contribute to thunderstorms.  Love ya Kace. Great poem, great pic. |

Smiling a big thank you, lady Greeneyes. Thanks for your reply. Karen, like Kyra? an actress? oh my, you get an extra kiss for that, since she is almost 20 years younger than me LOL  yep, have to admit, I DO want to be as dynamic as the great Pacific! LOL, though I am a mere gentle tributary stream. YOU, on the other hand, ARE always ...a mighty ocean.  |

Kacy....This is an inspiring poem... "rivers don't sleep and life is... what it is" Though life rests at times, in places deep Slow eddies-black water- back bays, building power Up ahead, always are White rapids and treachery, But up ahead is always what it seeks! as "moving forward is its way" Relentless to conjoin forms, changing Only the spirit knows the whys of our questions... "The spirit that follows" (knows) "the way" But unlike mankind, the river "is (always) content with life as it is" and always keeps secret, the reason it's taken away... Thank you ---------------Ice/ford ><> |

thanks for such a sweet reply, CraigFord, your beautifully aware muse follows you upstream, downstream, over all the boulders and waterfalls. And you read the waters well. |

Very captivating, I so love to watch a river flow! You have touched upon the essence of life ... moving on. Very beautifully done! My son took a beautiful picture of the Tiber on Sunday and I was inspired too to write a poem. Will post it soon. Love, Margherita  |

Kacy, you went and gave [in a response] the beginning of another poem for yourself... tributary stream... go ahead, take the challenge... find your way to the Pacific... |

"rivers don't sleep and life is... what it is moving forward is the way the spirit that follows the way is content with life" as it is It helps to remember that the river always flows, over rocks, over sand, over whatever is in it's way. It manages, fast and sometimes slow, steady and sometimes rough. It may seem the easier path to always be content, when inside you feel the rush of a wild river. I strive for that perfection. Thank you for this, martyjo |

Thank you for your reply, Margherita. I look forward to reading your new one. Karilea? LOL, OK, maybe there will be a Pacific sequel. Martyjo, thanks! I enjoyed your thoughtful reply. |
