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
