A landmark in my life, the river follows
ages, and eras, seasons measured by her flow
She acknowledges change, bears the winter
regally, swells with confidence as Spring rains
Will walk beside me in sunnier times, and
hold my secrets as Autumn catches us in her flames
She holds my heart, my faith, always knows
and at end of day, oh how she glows.
(For Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: A River Runs Through It.)
I was very taken by your poetic thoughts, V.J. The river walks beside me in sunnier times also. Lovely visuals. ❤

Thanks Olga. I often take the river for granted, but when I stop to think about it, she has always been a part of my life, and provided hours of solace during difficult times.
