The water and the rock

malubotelho

The still rock made a gracious move to receive the chilling embrace of the current water.
After the embrace the rock said; I will wait for your return, even if it takes years to happens.
The water went down riding the current, curving with every curve of the river, embracing other rocks, moving branches, caressing sands and grasses along the river.                                   It rode down on water falls, met the ocean,
greeted the fishes and other creatures, joined the big sea, were disposed with other water into a lake, helped create energy for a big city, were recycled many, many times. One day she travelled back into the river and was all excited to rapid touch the gracious curve of the still rock. For a moment they had a chilling romance.

        A lovely thought that the rock and water exchange contact - the picture too is superb as illustration of your poetic verse - great read Malu.

            ooooh a deja vu moment Malubotelho. Great to see you writing again after the storm.

              • myself and me

                A romantic moment about a lucky rock and a traveling water. The rock has embrace by a lot of water passing by, the water encounter other rocks on the way, and after a long trip, they met again.
                A romantic poem with a beautiful paint.

                • malubotelho

                  Thanks MM. Yes, it is romantic but it is no surprise with me. Like Santita says, I'm the queen of romance.

                  • myself and me

                    Yes, you are.

                  • WL Schuett

                    This is a wonderful poem I enjoyed the feeling of time and infinite return... did you paint this painting

                    • malubotelho

                      WLS. No, I did not. I'm far from painting like this. It is beautiful, right? I need to google to know who painted it.

                    • Accidental Poet

                      See? Even water and a rock can fall in love. Beautiful concept Malu ; )

                      • malubotelho

                        Thanks AP. Yes, it is to show that everything is possible in my imagination.

                      • Goldfinch60

                        The never ending circle of life very well expressed.
