river gypsy
Mighty old river
water crashing like
splashes of thunder
she carries me steady
carries me whole
unlocks the secrets
of her wavering soul
but the sea draws her in
begging her: find repose
The rambling maiden
The water-gypsy
Coming, un-silently
Her rhythm juxtaposed
i could not hold her
her force was too strong
Mighty River
Aquatic chameleon
Ever-changing her song
Mighty Old River
She breathed me in
crowned me with algae
as i floated upon her skin
Her shore line carved
A path in the landscape
A bed in my womb
Mighty Old River
Her gift breathes within me
Swelling beneath the moon
