The Flood Poem by Sean Green

The Flood

Rating: ★5.0


If life is a river
consider its source
mouth of the substance
is divorced from its course

the banks are presented
as sound advice
followed faithfully
until the flood

that torrent consuming
land once thought safe
from the deluge
spawned by the heart

don't ask the waters
to quickly depart
the surest of journeys
begins at the end.

If life is a river, we will live freely, been ourselves and doing things our way. Thanks for sharing.
