Carry On Gently

by gracey grey   Jun 26, 2008


Gentle rippling rapids on rocks
Soothing whispers beckons to drift
Perpetual flow continues forever
Doting obstacles come what may

Churning, twirling days that passes
Breed the life for comfort it seeks
Over valleys beyond plains
You are the sound I long to hear

Unnerved waters minding not
Tripping blindly molding motifs
Caresses stretched over lapsing time
Arduous journey till home is reached

    On the surface this seems to describe a flowing river, running its course, following its path, twisting and turning. It could also describe another journey too, life's journey!

    Well done

    Lots of great adjectives, but I feel the imagery is overwhelmed by an over-abundance. Should be days that 'pass'. Not one "and," and only one "I"--I can see why Bob would love this poem! "Gentle ripling rapids" is an oxymoron. Rapids are not gently ripling. I appreciate the infinity you grant to rivers.

    Very beautiful picture you have painted for the minds eye. I can almost hear the sound of the waters as they purge forward towards the seas.

    Unnerved waters minding not
    Tripping blindly molding motifs
    Caresses stretched over lapsing time
    Arduous journey till home is reached

    This is my favorite stanza.
    Great job!
    Take Care Cinjdy
