Rivers Of Joy Poem by John Sensele

Rivers of joy traverse our life journeys
Rivers tinged with bliss converge in our seas
Although our minds participate in a motley of tourneys
To accomplish purposes our eye sees.

Rivers of challenges spew green water
Rivers of hurdles stretch our patience
Although our minds single out a diffuse matter
To surprise and incentivize our intelligence on the fence.

Rivers of romance seduce our roving eyes
Rivers of lust beat us blind
Although our minds shunts aside packs of lies
To spare blues and contusions of any kind.

Rivers of dishonesty cross our life avenues
Rivers of disloyalty pepper our conscience with temptations
Although our minds opts to splurge on flings revenues
To leave us broke, broken and bleeding in seas of confused reactions.
