Matthew Anish Poet Chant Royal

Life Renewed

The river, the giver of life 
The river, the giver of time as we know it 
Volumes of history on my shelves
Offer dark pictures 
when one delves
into the records of the past 
So I'll watch, the river, the giver 
as it brings 
life to us all 
The river, the giver 
brining home peace
The river, the giver 
as it flows past our home 
the river , the giver 
make it your own

Kelly Deschler May 28, 2015 at 12:55 AM Life is constantly flowing and changing like the river that you spoke of. Both also carve a history and it is up to us to be a part of it... I enjoyed your beautiful poem, Matthew. Very well written and rhymed!

Kp Nunez May 13, 2015 at 11:27 AM i agree with SKAT. What's more, you'll see history as it is being made, for rivers, in this case, have always provided a source of living for some, and a way to travel for others. A thought inspiring read. Kim
