River And Time.

Goldfinch60



My River flows beside me,

Its gentle soul passes by.

I touch it and feel it,

I know it is part of my life

And that I will not touch that part,

Not touch that part again

As it has passed me by

On its journey to infinity.

 

Time is like a river,

Every moment passes

And that moment will not touch us,

Will not touch us again,

And we will  not touch that moment again.

Moments are important in life

So enjoy every one of them,

Enjoy every moment of your life.

    Good write Gold.
    There are some hymns mentioning rivers too. Time for a song - by me. Arrggh!
    You know the imaginary song - 'By a river far away' - further away the better! heehee.

    • Goldfinch60

      Thanks Orchi.

      Yes the further away the better.

      there is something timeless about a good old river regardless of whether it rushes past or meanders more slowly .. I can see where you are coming from sir ..

      • Goldfinch60

        Rivers meander and they rush, they flood and they dribble by. Time too seems like this and as they say you can never stand in the same river twice. Nice write

          Thank you soren, so very true.

              Your analogy of the river and time is perfect. This is so beautifully and lovingly written it touches a chord very deep within, as I read and listen to your extraordinary choice of music. This is a true fav.

                Most kind Bella and much appreciated.

                  This is rejuvenating. Thank you for this splendorous journey through time.
                  Utilizing the river as a metaphor also sets the peaceful and pensive tone of this poem. Life is precious, and we ought to make the most of it.

                  • Goldfinch60

                    Very true Rocky, life is so very precious and we must enjoy every moment.

                    Andy
