What I Noticed Down By The River

There is a stark contrast Of movement and stillness here. Pensive trees hold each other’s Hands along the river’s edge. They seem to contemplate the Water flowing like liquid wind In one direction towards The unrelenting West. Kneeling over their reflections That undulate in the water They are able to watch Each leaf fall from their branches.

They fall one by one by one Into the downward pull Of the sweeping current That carries all away with it. They bend so far down Towards the water Outstretching their arms Desperately back towards the East. And so pitiful it is to Watch the logs floating by Bobbing in and out of the Water as if gasping for air.

They are the fallen ones, I noticed, That would not accept their destiny Until destiny took control Of them anyhow.

It is just so mesmerizing looking Out at the dynamics of this landscape. If I un-focus my eyes a little I can notice the movement of the water.

More distinctly against the Contrast of all that still Earth. Sitting here along the river’s Edge I notice how I want.

To belong to all that stillness.
