River of Life

Living river glistens and laughs teasing, as it swirls past eddies slipping freely over smooth stones pushing tadpoles and skeeters 'round meandering through sun dappled meadows splashing forth fluid songs, making trees smile. Written on 2/27/2017

I adore this one, Laura. It's so flowing and sunny and nice just like the river itself.

Absolutely beautiful Laura. This flows so nicely the syllable change is not even noticeable. Nicely done.
