BROKEN RIVER

The River flows ever so faithfully on its way

It carries so much if you look beneath its waves

On the surface it is gentle, beautiful, full of grace

Beneath the surface lies the heart of grey

The river ebbs and flows with the currents

At times it forms its path from many torments

Beneath the waves a swath of weeping garment

A quilt of life, of love, and tender moments

The river flows no matter the destination

It’s depth beneath so deep, not for discussion

It turns & twists like love’s dark deep emotion

Like love sometimes it begs true destination

Break its surface there lies the real discovery

Broken river, hidden jewels, shadowed memory

Break the silence hear the whispers of her story

Broken river, weeping water, sound of silence
