submerge this river in silence, to shadow a rock in tears - i am stone, granite, i do not crumble... only chip. solidity is illusion, a mirage dancing atop whispering waves and challenging Darkness to cull foam from the tips, so we can breathe depths otherwise unseen. i am this river, ever-flowing, ever-changing, ever-caressing the depths, communing with imaginary creatures, while we drown our loves in the sorrow of i n s t a b i l i t y |

submerge this river in silence, to shadow a rock in tears ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ oh how I wish I wrote that!!! Hey C...Im moth giddy... a post from both you and M, in the same day.  I like this style on your pen...a little different than your "usual" ...but your poetry is always evolving...like the river.*S* "eventually all things merge into one and a river runs throught it."  "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take ... but by the moments that take our breath away.” G.Carlin |

Make that three of my favorite poets in one day! I wasn't sure about the spacing of "instability" but I think now it's a very effective device and lends emphasis to your point and doesn't distract. So your "rock" beats my scissors--but as all poets know--PAPER rules. At least when you write your poetry on it.  |
