Crying River

Crying River (The Untold Ballad) Undercover waters of rain dash Cold children, no smiling splash Tragic sobs, epic force of the mountain rain Beautiful as it may seem -shallow basin ---Dream--- She cries a tune, Mocking the Maple lands, a beautiful tune Crooked Cornwall, she steams with the moon Oceanic dreams, monsoon season, she swoon's Frozen, dead, ice skating rink Her wind, Pretty Chains O Lake Wet and Wild, the Elk drinks from her garden Water falls from the lids of Jordan Beautiful as it may seem with open curtain When the ocean succeeds away from the sea She's wide awake during winter's rain and breeze Lost in the mud's of Bellaire's heartache, River Blues, ice cold snap, bayou stirring up Racing rivers crying by the western gutter Silent, bells chime in the Black Mallard waters Streams, blowing and drying dew droplets Little rapid tears, everything spotless Sugar, Swan waves down by Devils Creek Listen to the thunder bay rolling deep Beautiful as it may seem, she weeps A northern world with streaks of falling rain Pretty running white hair pane A weather vane, snow dangles above her domain Beautiful crying winds In the Eyes of Michigan ~3/5/14~

This is beautiful. You are lonely when you share your room with a lot of people without sharing your heart with any. Keep writing.

Loneliness, longing and beauty, perhaps they are one in the same. Enjoyed your poem. I often wonder if you yet peak in on us from time to time.

And I see the Sun ray, piercing the horizon, to shun her pearl drop tears! Alas, no more darkness, no more fear.. fallen rain started rolling down the pebbles no more darkness, no more fear.. her mourning turned to sparkling smile.. thousands of diamonds glittering to nail.. I wonder, IS IT NILE? :-) CLASS! Loved your poem....
