Flowing

Flowing

A Poem by David Scott
"

A response to cryingkate's poem, "RiverWords". This was the gut response to reading her poem and was not a work as much as the pure flow of inspiration. Thank you Kate.

Flowing

How genteel thy words fall upon my eye...
And the voice, so polite while they take a seat in my mind.
Whence comes this messenger,
is it a Saint or friend of "Nick"?
Ah... we sigh together upon our parting,
this river and I.
Bathing in the birdsong of now,
ignoring the distant rumble of a sea
raging...
Mesmerized,
memorizing what is written between each heartbeat,
"Riverwords"

Thank you for the comment. Not sure where the line came from... Manic morning. ha.
what a great answer to echo her poem...

sometimes gut reactions make the best poems....the messenger brings inspiration.

Thank you for the review Jacob. I agree with your hypothesis. :)
Your thoughts and feelings do flow so beautifully, so tenderly like a vast river meandering across time. How amazing to me the way a mind works, to read and respond with such an elegant light. Brilliant.
