Ever Mindful

My love you are so breathtaking Your colours are ever changing Sunlight dances on your surface You caress me with your soft touch Still I'm ever mindful of your power For I know others have been swept away! For Rick Parise's "River Line/ River Life and Beauty" contest. Written March 4th 2017

Excellent Richard. My cousin, Rick says he wants to have his ashes poured into the river near his home when he dies. He loves that river. Great job here. God Bless and a big 7 from me. JB Good luck in the contest.

That sounds like a lovely idea. I have a poem called "Ashes" that you might appreciate. Thanks for visiting.

It's impossible to hold a river, all you can do is let her flow around you.
