Despair is the one sin that cannot be forgiven. Wa Thiong'o [James Ngugi] Ngugi (1938– )

Despair is the one sin that cannot be forgiven. Wa Thiong'o [James Ngugi] Ngugi (1938– ) River of emotion Stream that flows ceaselessly Down through every tributary She gathers momentum Coursing the plains That had been left untapped Filling and reaching the farthest extreme The point where souls meet… Unify and identify With her dance of lively sparkling bubbles She tries so longingly to engage The stillness of the quiet pool To feed it, to evoke its desire to flow Encourage and urge it to remember Just how good it used to be Swirling and twirling Dropping down rapids Touching bodies of foreign matter Brushing past boulders Feeling the warmth of the midday sun Hiding in the coolness of a gentle stream When night skies reflected upon With her brilliant resplendent jewels Lucent orb casting her magical glow She tries to encourage it to flow It lays still and so silent… unmoving Will it refuse to merge? Failing to blend With crystallized emotions Or substance To remain forever… Trapped in its dark abyss? ~*~ Elga ~Indigo~ 31 October 2005 – All Rights Reserved 03H49AM

It is only in the water's stillness
that we can see our reflection. Yet
it continues to ebb and flow even though
it is only visible when we look with the heart.

Blessings,
Joseph

Pleanty of metaphor in this flowing poem, Elga. We can hold back in life and become stagnant or we can move forward with the motion of life and keep on keepin' on. Our strength comes with moving forward, facing all that lies there, collecting energy and rolling into the next lesson packed bend. Beautiful poem!!
Take care,
Sherry
