My Sister Is A River


Linking with In Tandem #19 a wonderful prompt for writers!


My sister is a river
she heads to the eastern sea
in her pockets she carries pieces
of all the things we used to be...

My sister is a river
her colors reflect of beauty from the past
yet she keeps moving forward
with ebb's distance and future's splash...

My sister is a river
she brings with her eternity in a rush
with force she moves, yet soft is her touch.

    This was my favorite, but it all was stunning~
