The River's Voice

The river’s voice may speak to some In different ways it becomes A roaring howl or just a hum Words of comfort to the lonesome Across the miles from which they come To escape and not to succumb The false things that seem so handsome Could it be that others are numb To nature’s beauty, they are glum When the river is the outcome Moving change above the bottom With a language that is random Heard by those the river welcomes Heidi Sands 11/29/17

The river 'speaks' beautifully whether with a 'roar or a hum'...Very nicely penned Heidi
