Listen to poem:

Recondite River

Recondite River 
David J Walker

How easy to live
on lies and stale air

to color within the lines
of pedantic pages

pleased with the accomplishment 
of a predetermined outcome 

How easy to flow with the 
Current of the incarcerate river running

Between banks that will 
Never be robbed nor deposited

You must go your own way believing
The river is a God that has only 

The best intentions on a trip from
Here to some unknow elsewhere

Nameless space on blank pages
Turned with only the warning 

Of another days dawning on
A mission of false forming 

of what seems to be the variant 
of another recondite day
