O N E Y E A R

2 . 6 . 18

The river is so full today
churning sandy earth
into deep waters
lapping the edges of higher rock
I step off trail
'round the sloshy mud packed path
and forge a new way on
watching water crash
rapid and wild
turning foamy and white
I see where water seems still
murky from the turbulent undercurrent
awaiting a turn to let loose

I too am so full today
full of
l o v e 
s o r r o w
j o y 
p a i n
full of rushing emotions
fierce and teeming
hiding in the not yet clear waters
pulling at my skin
lapping the ever changing shores
that boarder my grief
