emotions can overwhelm one in a flood of sorrow, as easily as a river..

Thank you so much Chris...much truth in your comment... the raging river i crossed over today inspired this...so i guess it's technically a bus scribble that waited till i got home to pen... though i did text it to myself as soon as i parked the bus so i wouldn't forget it... hugs
