Leap

River rushing River rushing Swim Leap Swim Leap River rushing River rushing Swim Leap Swim Leap River rushing Leap Though obstacles may wait, if you choose to swim against the current You must frequently leap out of the water to make true progress

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Thanks for sharing this reminder. It's difficult to swim against the current like the salmon, but it is definitely worth it. Take care and stay safe. Enjoy your weekend. :-)

Greetings Mark, A thought provoking piece in which your final prose lines reveal a fundamental truth - that the metaphorical rushing water of lives lived need to be skirted if we are to advance. A truly fine read. All the best, Brian

The Song of Salmon. Determination, perseverence and success. Great piece of brevity. Mark. Worth reading twice.
