Life Waters
~~~
As the greatest river
Finds its way to the sea
Nature the life giver
And nowhere else to be
~~~
Unstoppable the go
Indominable force
It keeps a steady flow
When change besets its course
~~~
No earth or rock can keep
This rain-fed splashing knife
From meeting with the deep
The birthplace of its life
~~~
So flexible and strong
As we should try to be
Journey however long
To our own salty sea
~~~

A worthwhile challenge, or endeavour, to journey on, cutting like a knife, flowing like water, to our own deep and salty sea. Brilliant and excellent! Lovely words creating lovely images. Wonderful work my friend! Take good care and all the best!

Wonderful poem Brad ! Vivid imagination!👍🤝
Thank you, Srikanth! I am flattered and uplifted by your kind comments.
our ongoing quest – beautiful poem and pic
Thank you, Beth!
Your words fall flow beautifully off the tongue just like the the small bodies of water finding the ocean. What a visual. I really appreciate how you talk about the strength of the water because people drown every year because they don’t realize what a force water really can be. Lovely poem Brad.
Hope you day is filled with much love, that you stay safe and careful. Sending love via sailboat in the sky full of beautiful mermaids. Don’t keep them out to late and don’t forget you will have to find some of that water to take them for a swim. Love ya Jonikins 🤗💕❤️🧜♀️🧜♀️
as you so beautifully say, life is all about the journey, not the destination…
Oh how lovely, the adventures on this journey we call life! Beautiful, as always!
Thank you beautiful Kristian!
Your poem made me think of an old memory, Brad. My family and I visited Itasca State Park in Minnesota when I was a kid. That’s the location of the Mississipi River Headwaters. It’s mindblowing that this eighteen-foot wide, knee-deep river could become such a powerful river.
