CONFLUENCE
Her grandpa’s funeral was over…but she still hurt inside
so she ran into her bedroom…closed the door…and cried.
On her bed…her face lost in her pillow…is where her Grandma found her
and with the gentleness of an angel…put her arms around her.
“I miss him so much,” she said…”and I know all this crying might upset him
but Grandma…I am

"Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses"
- Confucius
With the flowing stream of my being, tributaries join
Chrystal clear or coal like black, I embrace them all gladly.
Each atom of my existence has been the widow's coin.
I spent not in richness but to give my mite joyfully.
I carry each flower that falls. Do I leave any leaf?
An ant or

Confluence
Ebullient ecstasy cascades carefree
in the winding valley of the teeming time,
changes the tenuous tenor with the reflection
of the chromatic sky in the overflowing palette,
painting the proclivity parchment
with the hues of delighted dawn and dulcet dusk.
On the sensuous convivial canvas of unification,
the emotive artist draws converging contours,
paints the poignant panorama of

Title 3/ Confluence Quote: Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses. Confucius
In the poetic story of my life,
I hesitate and ponder 'don't be so obvious,'
but whatever I am thinking - becomes a poem.
Sometimes life hurts, when lost upon crossroads of fate,
until those with invisible wings, help us mortals to ascend.
I still remember in a merciless, murky, fatigued dawn,
as I gazed at a rustic

Confidence, Clean Air, Confluence, Clash of Civilizations
In the confluence of dreams and desires,
Where the heart's fire burns with fervent fires,
Confidence rises like a beacon bright,
Guiding us through the darkest night.
Each step we take, a leap of faith,
Chasing dreams across the starlit wraith.
But doubts linger in the depths of the mind,
Like shadows cast by the moon's kind.
Yet amidst the doubts, a glimmer

Confluence
Streams mingle with rivers
And rivers mingle with oceans
while oceans reconcile the distinction
Like humans converging from regions
Civilization marks a local population
Originating back to their initiation
Modern trends reconcile the differences
Substituting Regionalism with cooperation
People shuttling from country to country
Mingling one another into the sixth ocean
Time by time removed the separation

I desire for song,
Writ practically worthy;
I wish I could,
Write it out!
So, display to earth,
My triumph or hurt:
May each word,
Be vocally proud!

The Confluence
We were rapids and falls,
two deep streams moving
into each other.
Rivers run, but we tumbled
and churned
until at last
we became a confluence,
not exactly oil meeting water,
but there was a separation
while we mingled.
When passion ran dry
we did not proclaim a 'goodbye,'
we just dipped a bucket of self
into that turbulence
and kept that essence
in a fishbowl of old memories.

The Utmost Confluence
Is it hearty to eager gaze at him with fond hope?
As the latter view with life borne, in gradual slope.
A high-flying plane to God's never-ending city.
But picking dreadful death isn't offered entirely.
Endwise, I'll once again aim to relish a joyful life.
A cheerful get-together for all who have left strife.
No also
