River
A month of poems.
Fantastic, I thought;
I have so many swirling, bubbling streams
conscious and unconscious
looking for an outlet.
A torrent of passion and frustration and heartache at the source
somehow as reality crested the waterfall edge
I dried up.
I search for the words
to carry all of this somewhere beyond me
rather than slowly drowning every cell of my body
in the rising tide
of my decision.

I just love this whole poem, especially these images.
Very relatable, I really enjoy your description of wanting words/all this creative energy out!
Love your reflections, and the comparison to the flow of water. Especially love the line ‘the rising tide
of my decision’…..
Keep writing–it’s obviously all in there! This was hopeful!
Great imagery!
I love the title and your imagery is compelling. Go down to the river.
This is beautiful: “I search for the words/to carry all of this somewhere beyond me…”
