What Flood Cannot Wash Away Poem by Fred Rik Kesner

'what flood cannot wash away'


people are our real legacy;
one day sure, entire poems
shall have been forgotten,

while remains a phrase or
a feeling drawn from wells
deeper than memory can

reach, or device can retrieve
much like thread-diving as
we scamper for posts buried

by traffic and flood posters…
follow, subscribe, or friend
buttons can only do so much

so we hang on to what we
have and hold dear, today
saving each precious moment

if bookmarked sentiments
are promises, all will be well
as we'll boldly breathe again
