WHY DOES THE RIVER RIPPLE

Durdica Porobija

Why does the river ripple?
Because of worries and age wrinkles,
Because of the fatigue that wrinkles its forehead.
The river worries about climate change
And because of the whispering of indigenous fish                                                                                                                                               that are becoming fewer and fewer.

Why does the river ripple?
Because of trying to speak
With those who speak the language of rivers.
She moves her lips on the surface,
Moreover, from time to time, she sings
Like a river mermaid,
Like a girl from a fairy tale about fading love.

Why does the river ripple?
Because of dancing with the breeze,
Because of hugging with the breeze,
Because of the desire to change like a cloud
Swayed by the wind in a poem.
A river with the breeze and the sun
Vibrates and celebrates life.
Coots rejoice and dive deep.

Why does the river ripple?
To network and find a signal,
To catch in its net
The sensitive eye of the observer
That has not yet been caught
By the poetic cataract.
