~river Wide~ Poem by Sinnaminsun Sinnaminsun

Feelings flow in a river long
Growing weak, though the current's strong,
From below its true soul resides
Cries an ocean's tears through this river wide.

Came to cross along its rushing-way
Slipped at sides, fell within and stayed,
To drown sorrows much deeper below
Hitting bottom, yet there's farther to go.

Gazing up, a coldness creeps in
Currents stilling as the shakes begin,
Feel it stirring my tides at bay
Emotion conveying what words never say.

Take-in each wave and breathe-out to be,
Flows a river now flooding its way out of me.
