River of Change

Sometimes it's good just to visit a small part of our past.

As a child,
the river’s experience
at the water’s edge
was vastly different
from that
of viewing it
from afar.

Now,
more often than not,
when I drive past
my meandering Guyandotte
or stand
at the rim
of its lofty banks,
all my senses relax
save one— that of sight.

But today,
I savored anew,
the emotions I felt
when I was ten.

I stopped
and took the pathway leading
down
          to
                    the
                              place
where the water
ripples to shore,
entering
an entirely different world
from the one
I left behind.

Everything
took on a new
aura of excitement,
and I was instantly
in touch
with the goodness
of nature.

I AM THINKING THAT IF ONE IS BLESSED TO RE-VISIT CHILDHOOD PLACES...THE CHANGE IN US AND SOME OF THE LANDSCAPE MEANS NOTHING WHEN WE ARE TOUCHED BY WHAT REALLY MATTERS...THE GOODNESS OF NATURE. THANKS FOR SHARING, DAVID. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

...in footsteps of the past...one carries the innocence of times remembered...in one hand...and with the other...traces a path...and together they capture the light of the sun...renewed.
wonderful thoughts David...
