Seventh Place

Vision Quest - Crystalinks

"I want you to feel this experience as I did."

Quote by _Constance

the glow of the sun and ripple of water paddles stroking blue on a quest bird songs echoing taste, smell the movement of air with thoughts positive floating a storm on shore my canoe shelter far from the river and lost walking among forest trees green and hushed anger, fear, disgust on and on through the tangle towards the sound of water grasp the sight of the coolness feeling the aura, sense it deep unknown with courage, faith and determination on a quest to find myself floating down the river proud

Congratulations on your 7th place win, Constance. The content takes me right into the scene. The first stanza alerts us to the fact that you are on a quest, treading lightly amongst pleasing imagery. As the poem unfolds, one experiences the different nuances of life. The common theme of the water is well defined and it is punctuated by the powerful final lines: ‘on a quest to find myself / floating down the river proud’
