Excerpt
The little girl sits by the riverside
Heavy her heart, her tears a tide
A shattered soul within, challenges her might
She budges a little, but chooses to fight
Hope is faint, no anchor to prod
Bruised and beaten, yet her dream is her god
An unknown strength nudges her spirit
A thorny path ahead, yet she cannot quit
Her past, she buries in a casket of gold
A few memories fond, the others she cannot hold
The river calm as it flows by
Seeks to embrace what her heart doesn't defy
She finds her voice in the song of the river
How the waves persist despite the wind's quiver
She sleeps in the elixir of joy for a while
As the river looks up and returns her smile...
This collection of poetry addresses the nature of time, reflections on the natural world, the difficulty of loss,
contemporary social issues and gratitude for life.
