Flow Like a River-Anacreontic Verse 1

in life you flow like
a blue river wavy 
and speedy towards
 the ocean gleefully
undisturbed 
attached to
 the moment like 
a lover
you might look up or 
fro lights of virtues 
guide not of
 fear or greed
but of love and 
compassion
you need love banks
stock it bond it 
invest in it
you will be 
rewarded
love is infinite
invest in  banks
you can stock it bond
it you could
  be rich but
 it is perishable
stock crashes you are 
despondent
flood ensues your l 
land is gone
change of policy 
your business
non existent 
remember
 it is perishable
so invest in love
love is an ocean 
drink from it
you will be
delirious with joy
rivers flow unaware of 
the destination 
unconcerned
a delight to watch 
we are
 transcended
to a different 
blissful realm
looking at a  river
be a river then 
i beg you
dirt and waste flow in it
you aware
still the totality the beauty 
of flow the  elevates 
you be a river then please
dont be stagnant
you are resisting the flow
to the eternal ocean of love
flow like a river
you will end up in 
a beautiful ocean
uplifting the waves
dont try for perfection and lose
the moment
be total your waste will 
be negligible
you cannot dwell on fear and insecurity
be imperfect like a river
be multi faceted
sing dance paint write poetry
imperfectly be multidimensional
you will be beautiful
like a river perfection is labour
totality is liberation
we are capable of evolving
we are let us leap quantumly
and be imperfectly perfect
like a river it is easy

ya buddy. i noticed that. actually i liked it and started counting. after a while laziness.. but that gave rise to oshontic verses; ha haa. 12 lines not more than six syllables in a lineshould be philosophic or inspirational one or two lines about nature, like ocean is the mother of earth.
