Wilfredo Derequito Poet Free verse

Like a Flowing River

Like a flowing river
my spirit flows to where it goes,
out where the vast sea of life is,
fresh as a cold morning dew.

Seeking to fill this wide world
with all the love that I have,
tireless as a swift-flowing river,
endless as the blue, blue sky.

To love is what I am here for
to care for my fellowman;
the road is rough and thorny
yet my love lives endlessly
like a flowing river.

I may just be a little leaf
floating on the restless water
but I'll go anywhere it takes me
till I find you out in the sea.

James Rudd December 4, 2009 at 5:16 AM Kind Sir, This one is truly beautiful- a work of art! Tell me more about the Phlippines. Some of my fondest memories come from my time there. I have a short narrative called The Helicopter Flight I will post. I also have a short story too long to post called A Congressman, A Gunrunner, and a Cup of Tea you might enjoy. Once again, I am moved by the beauty of your poem. J. B. Rudd
