River Birth

Laying down a golden hysteria upon an ancient waterway that whispers of sunken gold now rising morning anew the sun speaks a language lost to the Dead, the river flows it's life currency towards the gulf of unbridled dreams while pure soul sparkle pops and flashes with a relentless innocence a caravan of curious courage reaches the riverbank's revelry J.A.B. 2021

"This is absolutely breathtaking, J.A.B. -- the imagery is so vivid it feels like the river itself is alive, dreaming, and singing through your words. I could feel the sparkle and spirit in every line. A truly beautiful, soul-lifting piece!"

This one was so powerful—brought tears to my eyes. Those last two lines ring beautifully. I can picture the birth along the river. “that whispers of sunken gold now rising morning anew”—gorgeous line! Always, Laura
