River Flow

O river waters, where are you going? Rushing to the vast ocean again To be dissolved in the blue depths? This humdrum floating you do - Don’t you think it's futile? Never can you fill The deep oceans and the seas With your Flow. Man, O Man! Flow with me And you will see This living gifts me. To sleepy woods I sing; The dry grounds I fecundate With mirth, earth's produce leap and bounce To my body and reaches the land As my lithe shape edges valleys secure. 9.26.14

I love the way you have described a river's life- first the simple almost "humdrum" questioning view: "Don't you think it's futile?" And then to follow on with a sensual, lifegiving answer as an almost retort..."And you will see this living gifts me..." How wonderful to see the passionate energy in nature's consistent ebb and flow...
