River Of Awareness

Out here where unharmed emotions spill,
peace fills the mind lingering midst days
of richness gathered, like soothing reveals
golden sunset devouring view,
letting go embraces night constellation in
clear sky, river breathlessly proclaims its
own, waterways of fusion trace together,
current swift...then slowing down.
Released rain; excitement building into
rings that bounce, Pike and Perch surface,
plant dwellers have hypnotic sway, flushes
food for fish; vibrations flicker.
Winged water skaters gliding thinkers with
delicate gossamer wings, fly sylphlike...
watch them skim between towering reeds
where some roosting swans are breeding.
Shades of green where creatures hide;
not seen, the Otter squeals a warning call
as Kingfisher very still perched on bough,
with colours of blue, green and gold.
Now we too anchored by this divine
serenity, watching weeping willows
undulating dance, sends us into peaceful
slumber where nature gives a soft release.

Thank you Jenny, for this beautiful poem. Your words drew me into the place. I was there, seeing all the reflections of life that moved to the rhythms of evening on this water.
I felt peace as I read your words, and after
again........thank you. MarciaMarcia

Hi Jenny,
Hi Jenny,
I hope you don't have covid. You must get checked out, let's hope it's only a heavy cold!
Concerned,
Hilary
PS I have just read you have had the test, that must be a relief, we are of an age now when danger lurks round every corner!

Oh Jenny, this is so
Oh Jenny, this is so beautiful! Reading this is like opening a box of new crayons, everything so clearly defined, and pefect
"richness gathered, like soothing reveals / golden sunset devouring view,"
"waterways of fusion trace together,"
"Released rain; excitement building into / rings that bounce,"
"Now we too anchored by this divine / serenity"
And how you end it is, like Celticman says, gentle as the last part of a meditation. It is wonderful, thankyou!
I am so sorry you have a horrid cold. And you made this amazing, tranquil, gorgeous stream of images! I hope very much you are better soon. Take care of yourself

Another great one, Jenny
Another beautiful poem, Jenny. I really don't know what to say that I haven't said before about your poetry. Hmmm...let me find a favorite line: "Golden sunset devouring view." Nice imagery. Great job. Congratulations on the cherries.
