I paddle my canoe on the river of change
the current has shifted over the years
but, steady stands the mountain range
even as the four winds switch gears
the current has shifted over the years
ancient waterways rumble and gurgle
even as the four winds switch gears
witness the beauty of a basking turtle
Where and when the river divides
The choice is mine on which way to steer
the ancient waterways rumble and gurgle
my heart and nature sing with each dip
even as the four winds gently shift gears
the journey can be an adventurous trip
my heart and nature sing with each dip
but steady stands the mountain range
the journey can be an adventurous trip
I paddle my canoe on the river of change
Where and when the river divides
The choice is mine on which way to steer

hosted by Mary - I think I steered a little
off of the intended prompt.

DeleteLove this poem! It is an adventurous trip. The rhyme really works, and the repetition does, too. I love that the mountain is steady as the winds and waters shift. Life is like that.
ReplyDeleteSusan - We need something steady when around us water and wind shifts.
DeleteLove both the form and content. The image of paddling a canoe on the river of change has beauty and power both. It's good to be the decision maker of one's life. "my heart and nature sing with each dip" Love this.
