Tale of An Unrhymed Poem

Floating on designed time
A poem wondered why
Its words should rhyme.
So it decides to try
Become a wild river
Carry words of heart 
In all sizes of boulder
The way it wants.

Some words roll polished
Some get stuck tarnished
Some splinter like heart.
Time carries the sands
To the distant sea
Stratifies emotions in sentences
Layer by layer
Build the unrhymed image 
Of the poem of some sense
Vibrating with the pulse of life
On the crest of rhapsody wave
In a lyric I sing.
