The Iceburg
I think that I will learn another language just because of the sound of the words
That would be the only purpose just for the wonderful sound of that language
I think that I will learn the species of every bird not just those in Georgia
I think that I will have my hours of meditation each__ every day
Meditation to relax mind__ to be filled with a new story let the river flow
By digging hard maybe I could deflect the river onto another path
A path of learning and of growing into very different stronger person
Then that river that runs rapid after a rain overflowing its banks__ideas
Imaginary things and __problems or maybe I could channel it to work
To operate a grits mill _ power electric plant serving community
Maybe it will be diverted over stones, pebbles__even boulders hard places
Those places that it really wants to refuse to enter
This river will run until its course reaches an unpassable place__locked in
And not a chance to change__then and only then I will just have to blast to free
Ideas__dynamite thoughts__non-conventional__like what happens if a huge
Iceburg turns loose and floats toward the US
