Reflections

Reflections

Down where the narrow river

flows strong and deep

gurgling as it goes

I sit on a grey log

sticking out

like a tongue

from the muddy water

to lick the bowing

bulrushes at its edge

and taste the green grass

swaying tall

in riverbank nook

snuggling in the dell

and dozing in the shade

of weeping willow

where I sit as a statue

just being

with the time

drifting by

Magi, I heard about you because you were featured ON THE FRONT PAGE OF GATHER today, so i thought i'd come read some of your stuff. This is simply lovely. Oh for the times we can just 'be'. How wonderfully restful.

What a coincidence, Carolyn! I just saw you featured there as well and just checked out your home page and, my goon-ness, you have a New Years Eve article with some 214 hilarious comments. What a funny, small world this is.

And thank you for your nice comment on this poem.
