Timothy Hicks Poet Free verse

River of Dreams

I dreamed of a river last night - it seemed to laugh
as it carved through the ancient landscape giving life to all things
(or was it just tears streaming down your face?)

Paul Callus February 18, 2016 at 3:53 AM Your creative take on this theme appeals to me, Timothy. I am looking at those tears as an effect of (her) joy. A river of tears emits powerful emotions...Other options are available...but why reveal all! #7 // paul Timothy Hicks February 18, 2016 at 11:00 PM Life with a little mystery is exciting. And it keeps you on the edge of your seat knowing there's a little more around the corner, and yet choosing to let it be ... until the right time. You end up understanding nearly everything I write, Paul ... it brings me great joy :)

Tim Smith February 17, 2016 at 11:40 PM Very deep and well carved piece Timothy... Love it Timothy Hicks February 18, 2016 at 10:56 PM Thanks Tim. It's funny ... because I keep telling myself I don't do contests, and then sooner or later ... I get wrapped up in another one when the inspiration kicks!
