Away From The Bustle Poem by Glen Kappy

Away From The Bustle

Rating: 5.0


Away from the bustle
and down to the river trail
and there a pool off to the side
its surface—revealed by sunlight
breaking through the gray—
patterned in a gentle herringbone—
rich greens and yellows
from the bushes above
reflected on it.

and thank you, tony. my wife and i visited philadelphia in june, and i discovered the schuylkill river trail was a reasonable walk from where we were staying. this poem was written from an experience there. -glen

This goes off a trail as the poem follows the descent of light and a person to an epiphany of simple flowers gathered in a spirit of gratitude. What else do we do with beauty but see it and show gratitude.
