Time's River

Lorna



It's done, the fun

It's gone the dawn

The years roll on in monotone

 

The moon suits me

Much better now

I like its contemplative brow

 

The river no longer breaks free

But drifts along

With moon and me

 

Just acceptance

As we float

Together in our little boat

      Thank you for your nice words.....

    • Michael Edwards

      Great - it flows along like the words in the poem.

      • Lorna

        It just struck me that the moon can be seen in so many ways....... more than the sun I think..........

      • dusk arising

        Yes the moon brings out the contemplative. In harmony wth our years. Though its mid afternoon in U.K. now, your poem lulls me into the peace of the night, my minds eye drifting upon a slow current neath that big ole moon.

        • Lorna

          Funny you should say that...... years ago I sat under the moon with a lovely man who said "let's look at that ole moon"............ great memory.

          TIME ~ Like an ever rolling stream
          Bears all her sons away
          They fly forgotten as a dream
          Flies at the opening day !

          Thanks LORNA ~ I love all of this ! The visual ~ The song (love Joni) and of course the POEM !

          I wish i had a River ~ I could skate away on
          I wish I had a River so long
          I would teach my feet to fly

          So so much imagry ~ awesome!

          Done fun ~ Dawn gone ~ Monotone
          Moon suits ~ contemplative brow
          River drifts ~ Moon & me
          Float together ~ in our little boat

          Love it Lorna ~ it's great when life slows down to drifting pace and your with the one you LOVE ~ AMEN

            Lorna,
            The carefully chosen words for your poem resonate with many meanings! Most of us have probably experienced its general meaning! It’s the extremely personal message you have braided with your carefully chosen words that especially resonates with me! A brilliant write complemented by your pic and song!
            A perfect trio!

            ~Laura~
