Fast moving river
Cold and deep
To immerse myself I deliver
From the jetty I leap
Coolness from the days heat
Lifes’ stresses abate
Heart misses a beat
Float on my back, at a sedate rate
Drifting downstream
Water gently rocking
Minds in a daydream
birds high, chirping, mocking.
Currant pulls faster
Water lapping
To rapids, and disaster
Arms and mind now flapping.
Go with the flow?
Smashed pillar to post
Each rock, a blow
In mind, who’d grieve the most!
Flipped and turned
Body aches
Mind burned
Oh! For My pitied sake.
Pulled under,
Life leaving
Water thundered
Friends, no grieving!
