dark and dreary day
the miserable drizzle
turning into ice
in and out of the water
the geese don’t seem to mind much

life always goes on
no matter who may have fallen
the river flows on
no time to bury the dead
feed the sheep and carry on
2021.01.31: the Shepherd
breaking human rules
teaching with authority
dying prophet’s death
rising He gave one command
yet now most remains unfed
2021.01.25: disturbed
the sound
of placid water
breaking
a blue heron
takes flight
2021.01.23: renown
the stream keeps flowing
what now floats on the surface
gone within a blink
yet writers are remembered
by ink which flowed from their pens
Longing For Water
