At the river’s edge I’m dreaming
Fixed in silent reverie
Gazing into crystal waters
Rippling out to capture me
Shall I walk into its shallows
Slip into its icy deeps
Feel it lapping all around me
Linger where Poseidon sleeps
Deeper, deeper thus immersing
Into regions yet unknown
Where the river meets the ocean
Where all fantasies are sewn
I am falling, falling, falling
Further into time long past
Touching ancient worlds of wonder
Where all memories are cast
Let me carry you there with me
Drifting ‘cross the bridge of time
Soul by soul traverse together
Back to Eden so sublime
Very lovely poem of longing for connection, the visual fascination of impossible ripples, the shock of icy water waking up the senses, immersion into something bigger than ourselves (the habitat of Poseidon) and all fantasy... What a lovely image! With the awareness of the soul's existence, and parallel paths leading us back to Eden though this poem seems to me an expression of the ultimate longing, a reunification with God's Love...
I am falling, falling, falling Further into time long past Touching ancient worlds of wonder Where all memories are cast The stanza i liked most n all above an interesting write.
your work is truly mindblowing as always, , , , , great write again, ,
Your thoughts flow far beyond the river's edge, like in a deep dream you take us with you
I could feel this poem with all of my skin dear Valerie! It feels like one of those moments of connection where space and time become limitless. The connection to a river may teach so many things, if only for a while we can keep still falling into a silent reverie! Thank you for share, always a pleasure to read your poems!
A big yes from start to finish. The rhyme and rhythm is faultless, and definitely a keeper. Lovely poem Val.
The poem is sublime, as was, we suppose, Eden. Excellent Val - very thought provoking.
Life beyond life! Reunion thru death.Very nice theme Val.I'm your fan, you know.

Unique are the thoughts expressed and superb is the rendering here. The intriguing life entwined with time lands us in this land of turmoil and you are luckily at the edge of the river that can soothe your mind as well.
