The Waterway Narrows


     The ebb of the river
      the flow of the stream

      As the waterway narrows    
        ~ Do fish abandon their dreams

Hello Gershon, I liked how the ebb and flow carried both movement and tension, and then you left me with that open-ended thought. It may be short, but it ripples with meaning. Holiday Blessings, Gershon, Daniel
