Mighty River

Power begins a trickle, Becomes a river, From the giver, Of a river! Infinity of divinity, Infinity, unlimited, Infinity, power’s potential, Mighty river eventual, Life’s essential, Love potential! Infinity of divinity, The beginning of thee, Many to see, Pure love light, The holy sight, Out of void night! Matrix power, Becomes a might tower, As people of the power, Many think not, in the hour, To keep humanity from sour! Infinity of divinity, Many think not, To supersede, Our world in need, Of a bleed, Of hatred and greed! The river will indeed, Plant new seeds, Of Christly speed, As the spirit pleads! Souls under alter of wrath, Writ Love’s epitaph, Now voice their request, For a God that’s rest! The ancient of age, Turns to their page, And lays siege, Enough is enough, Love is not a bluff, The river has enough of world’s stuff! Do men cry, Do men sigh, Depends on the eye, Single, Or mingled, With new finagled, Minded angle! Or pure, and true, So true, it’s blue, A river, That will never, Run dry, Because of sty, On mens eye! Beware, take care, There is a false river, It runs along side, The true river guide, It isn’t the giver, The true river, It will never deliver, Not a sliver, Of life in this river, Not of love’s river, The life giver! Central control, Very meek, but bold, Hidden in mind’s fold, God Gold! Form:Thought Drops (Of Love) 7-9-09 johnmosesfreeman@yahoo.com

John, I agree with Ruben. There is a great rap/hip hop rhythm to your poem (and it's not my kind of music either) but I really enjoyed it here! Thank you for reading and commenting on my river poem (and all the others too!). Blessings, Krista

To me it feels more like waves in the river, gently carrying the reader to his place of rest. You're right though, there are two rivers, two voices, two ways of seeing things. Most people try to find balance between them. I'm more into replacing one with the other, the false river of darker angrier currents with the sweeter gentler river of love. If you look closely enough, as I'm sure you have John, love is far more powerful then fear could ever dream of being. most people choose not to look.

Although I've already commented on this poem, I just wanted to thank you for sharing your views on the possibility of man progressing and regressing, aided by divine intervention when it's time to move forward again. Brilliant concept, John! It's certainly something to think about. Love, Carolyn

What a flow to this poem, John! And I like the way you remind us of the "false river," too. Incredible rhyme scheme with a layout that appears like ripples through the river. Outstanding poem! Love, Carolyn
