Somewhere downriver, among thrushes and the swallows, Ducks in hidden hallows have silky, satin wings Among the reedy shallows, swim ducks in hidden hollows rest awhile where willows lean, and haloed twilight clings Summer's been forsaken. Now the leaves are drifting A constant current takes them to where the sun resides Dreams are carried with them, in waters ever shifting Without much hesitation. a few are cast aside Sodden leaves are drifting, to where the sun resides I watch the streams meander, and I hear the seasons call Water soothes the jagged stones, and sparkles in the sun The moon arrives and sun goes down, as if from earth it falls Then it melts into the river's flow, and seams blend into one I hear the seasons call, as the seams blend into one _____________________________________________________ Contest: 255 Sponsor Brian Strand

If there is such a thing as a flaw in this poem, I assure you that I would never be able to find it. The very essence of poetry.
