Green River

And I watched the green river, the ageless river that does not have to justify its existence but just flows, and I called: Green river, speak to me. Green river, teach me to turn obstacles into song. Green river, sing to me, let your many voices take root in my heart.

Flowing like paint on canvass of the mind I almost felt I was there on the river bank.

Your poem gives me the feeling that a Native American is speaking because of their close connection with nature. Very lovely Agnes. : )

I like this. Flows like a river. Especially like 'teach me.... obstacles into song'. Very wise.
