Lie Low

Lie low, as the noise whizzes by overhead, side to side, undertow Echoes reverberate ‘cross the canyon plunge into the bone-dry riverbank ~ Lie low, as the noise whizzes by

When you mention the bone-dry riverbank, it takes me back to my days in the Tunisian wadis. Thanks for the memories, my friend.

Perhaps you are the only person who related to this noise as a war-torn place. Interesting angle, Swetha. Kudos, gw

not sure why I like this, but I do. living out in the country feels like I "lie low" and miss a lot of the hustle and bustle. Some of that's good, some, I'm probably not as plugged into as I should be. Going to go see my daughter in Utah soon, and will get to spend a little time in that canyon, with the happy sounds of my granddaughter echoing throughout...

That hustle and bustle is no more than that - hustle and bustle. Where are the people going in such a hurry?
