I sit along the river
running as she goes
listening as she flows
music to the waters of my soul
her spirit permeates
thoughts they do abate
I let her jolly dance
be my only song
stilling inner waters
thoughts they do abate
I let her jolly dance
be my only song
stilling inner waters
it is in the light of the sun
rocks the river runs among
ice tinkling in the flow
mix of air that is quite rarefied
rocks the river runs among
ice tinkling in the flow
mix of air that is quite rarefied
symphony surprise
complete romance
a mundane stance
perfect stage
inner divine dance
gives rise

Amazing photos and writing. This is such crystal clear water exposing wonderful color! So very nice, Tammie!
ReplyDeleteIt really looks like having life..! Beautiful lively pictures!
ReplyDeleteThe stones made me think of spawning salmon. Lovely, lovely post.

ReplyDeleteI have never seen so many colored stones. Beautiful photography! I could hear the ripples flowing!
ReplyDeleteThe River as Life is a fitting metaphor, Tammie, especially with those beautiful colored stones in the icy current. These last words in your final stanza perfectly describe Life:

More than a poem, this feels like music, like a spring song... and I love the accompanying images of the softening ice and clear water flowing over those brightly colored stones. Seems like a metaphor for the way we move out of all kinds of ice ages.
ReplyDeleteThe colors of the stones are so vivid in that beautifully clear water.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos and words.
