Hidden Beauty

QUIET RIVER WAKES A river lays still on a hush Of edges mild in deepened blue; Until her trail iust like a winding river blue notes trickle down and streams along the ocean where thev were heard all around unique each in their tempo sailing in a whirl of life's dance: with distinct flow in sweet motion to be adorned as one long song, still a rhapsody has its fading as with a prelude there must be an end, ike seasons with ellipses that pause only to open new lilts of fresh cycle; my passages turning into another bend awaiting the chances of a lake's journey to sail and be taken away by a float embracing my body in the dew. .................

Nette, I am dazed with your expressions of hidden beauty- 'requesting for a tide's refill' and 'mutes my whispers as seashells play' to quote a few. How well you pick the essence of hidden beauty! Congrats. Mohan

This is a hauntingly beautiful poem filled with outstanding imagery and rolling words that carry the reader along in their flow. Your poetic soul sees magic in life, absorbing its beauty and quietly dispersing this treasure to others through you words. Emile. #7

"Whispers as seashells play: Requesting for a tide's refill." I especially like this idea, like one sitting, contemplating, on the beach watching seashells refill. Love, daver

I want to row down that river and camp beneath those stars, beside of her. You've penned a beautiful word-painting.
