Waterway
"You drown not by falling in a river, but by staying submerged in it.”
A gentle mist
billows above the man-made pond
that spawns a rippling
sorrel-dusky brook
that ebbs and widens as it becomes
a river.
The runnel is dark rust colors,
it is restful but unquiet,
as its flow
softly murmers.
The tributary sits next to a parking lot.
A car's yellow-
white headlights
are bright orbs

For William Waterway
For William
There’s a rainbow in the sky
That wasn’t there before,
Special blueness in the ocean
As it rushes to the shore.
There’s a bright new shining star
Above the breathless trees
And I hear a haunting melody-
Indian flutes along the breeze.
His spirit, loosed from fetters
That held him to this earth,
Soars free of mortal chains
To experience new birth.
Now one with

Exquisite Turquoise Waterway
exquisite turquoise waterway
your dancing jewels seen from every direction
the breezes of today glide toward your beauty
mountains at your back, showing you off
you make me feel alive, I feel honored
God has outdone Himself, creating this scene
spread out before me in a kaleidoscope of colors
I am awed, humbled, loving your beauty
You were worth the climb;

Inland Waterway
inland waterway
I joined the rowing boat in the middle of the dry lake
when a dust storm came whirling around screaming nasty words
and the shoreline disappeared.
The captain came down from the bridge wanted his lunch
but he had to wait till the wind stopped which it did
in the afternoon.
I walked ashore, at the cafe, they

Emerald Waterway
Emerald Waterway.
Cypress,tall pine trees adorn coastline,
Sun shimmers in blue sapphire river,
Little girl in glee gathers conch shells,
Stock dips the beak in its reflection,
Raindrops blend in,kids splash in river,
Landscapes mirror their matte and gloss frame,
Rocks bathe,river nurses aqua life,
Clematis sways with flowing river,
Waterfall flutes a tune for sand dunes,
Snail peeps out in the pool of river,
Slimy

The Waterway
Riddles twisting through the scalps,
Trace the paths that wind about
Pouring out through the watery spout
Like waterfalls, inside and out
Possessed by a madness,
Sadness reaps my every thought
Isolated by my shadow, I’m laying in the dark
And the river flows faster as the ferry embarks,
Behind brown eyes, find a crimson spark
As your prayer begins,
He seeks the mark of
