Warmer days do their part

Awakened by natures clock
Hibernating bears emerge

Less Words

Misunderstanding 
between
The deep and shallow 
rivers
Are resolved when two 
murmur
Less words and stop 
meeting at sea

Flood



rivers flooded lands;
panic sets off - old man says
next year good harvest

Premium Member Beneath the Rivers Flow

In the sea I go

Following the waves that flow 

In the Under tow

I reckon thee may

Never go to the sun

A heavenly glow

Liar

Deceiver, you smile
With subtle grace you hinge me
Rivers flow from you
Standing on the edge of time
No more will I believe you.

Her face saw many surgical scissors,
yet a routine endoscopy ended her life
and she hadn’t even gone under the knife.

Rainy Night

Rain drops beat on my window-
Beyond the crimson blinking light.
As candles drive the fear from night,
Little lakes and rivers flow.

Day Spring - Tanka

deep flowing rivers
of milky translucent mists
flood the wide valley...
the old wooded hills shiver,
waiting for the sun to rise...

Manatees Are Born

In rainbow sparkles
Which twinkle beneath water.
Mirroring rivers.

Blood

Thin deep cuts in pure 
white snow,
From which the crimson 
rivers flow.
Words longing to be heard, 
Silenced by a violent 
world.

Like rivers flow into ocean
Time doesn't stop its steady motion.
And only Love without caution
Survives the time through its Devotion.
