Dark Water

Slow dark water flowing by me hiding its secrets down below. The Weeping Willow sings its song as I sit and dream dreams of you. Once again it cries my tears of longing, filling my river with lost fantasies. 02/28/17

Thank you Pandita. You never know what lies beneath the surface of a slow moving river in the south. Sometimes it's just whats in your imagination.

Ralph, I love this. So many poets are doing really great poems for this contest and yet only ten winners? It seems a tragedy to me! Hope you win!
