-life Seeking Waters-

Deep the pond
sweet the water,
Tranquilly placid
nestled in safe abode,
Nourished by tears of yester-years.

Vast the spaces
of times immemorial,
Condensed to serve
in segmented places,
Striving and continually
seeking the birthing waters
of the placid pool.

Vain the vanities
of immortal entities,
Chasing shadows
in spiraling obscurities
floundering, for a way to find.

I enjoyed reading your poetry this afternoon Christopher. I am reading today and hoping to find some inspiration to write. I had a run a week or so ago and now it wimped out on me. Thank you for posting your poetry and sharing it with others. Love, Carol
