Ever Flowing River
by Amie GoldaThrough the rocks,
O'er the plains,
Glistening in the sun.
Eyes pick a spot;
It's not the same
Moment, forever gone.
See, one shape
Moves ever on:
Never the same water in one place.
Ever draped
In ever-gone
Ebbs the flow of swiftly changing pace.
Wild and free:
Music of the flow
The gently rushing voice of time.
Sing and see,
Alive with glow
Of roughly hushing voice in rhyme.
Never the same
In one place,
Always unchanged appearance.
Runs like a game,
The fast pace;
Never sojourned by hindrance.
Changing: it runs ever the same.
Undecided as the water,
The inconsistent flow of life.

| Posted by Michael Defries on 02/09/10 at 07:11 AM There's a lot of stops to starts here. It's ironic for an "Ever Flowing" piece. but I really enjoyed the first stanza. I think there is some concept in the imagery here that could be exploited further. Oh, and "Moves ever on:" something strong about this line. I will ponder it. Thanks Amie for sharing it. |
