Matt Caliri Poet Free verse

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

Carolyn Devonshire January 11, 2010 at 8:41 AM 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
