Rivers

Rivers are like veins They believe in us because they are us All liquid runs towards freedom The following-through of life after life And whether it be brook, or stream, or faucet, or pouring bucket The act of life is a spectacle for reverence And with IPODs we are leagues away Though with eyes The liquid of our hearts Connected via the veins of our bodies We make way for re-blissing unions: The achievement of flooding light The rivers upon rivers

Very interesting perspective on "rivers," Matt. I especially like the line about "The following-through of life after life." This is a good description of the never-ending cycle of rivers as well as human lives. Well done! Love, Carolyn
