A River with currents that attract the impetuous souls

A River with currents that attract the impetuous souls

A Poem by Patricia Wedel
"

White Water is lovely as it challenges the Kayakers with excitement

"
On a lovely warm Summers Day when 
Terns sit on Rocks in the River... 
White Water enthusiasts come to 
challenge the Rapids with 
love and laughter... in the hereafter... 
Suddenly there is a sound of thunder and 
lightening streaks across the Sky where 
Sunshine beams smile mysteriously as 
rain falls softly on placid peaceful Inlets 
where Reverence is portrayed in 
Ripples of Contentment and 
prayers of forgiveness ascend  
to Heavenly realms of Trust...

I don't know much of rapids. I've kayaked a bit on flat water, a bit in ocean bays, but line by line I can see a dazzling view. With your words I feel like I have missed out on something and need to get my act together and check out those Terns before it is too late. Its extraordinary that one can read something, close his eyes, and be transported a little closer to heaven. Thanks Patricia. All the best.

No worries. That is an incredible story. I enjoyed your flashback as much as the poem.

How absolutely superb! Beautiful imagery I can almost imagine myself there at the water's edge. Particularly adore the last three lines.

i went white water rafting once .. it was a grade 2-3 rapids so had some excitement for this newbie ... after the rapids comes the calm .. i think your poem's contrasting is point on ma'am .. and you draw in the Divine ... kind of surprises me .. but hey ... the Creator of all things is in all things and all places after all .. isn't He!? ;) in reading, out loud, the enjambment works ... i imagined myself in one of those old smokey dives reading it for you :)))))))))))

Such a wonderfully visual and blessed poem Pat.. as ever full of the heart within its poet. Water for me is a symbol of life.. its movements, it depths and shallows.. and so forth. You've captured all that so skillfully , reminding the reader how it is to follow the Fine Path.

Things been a little hectic offline recently but hope to be here more often. God willing all is peaceful and smiling for and at Roger and of course, dear you. Take care, keep safe as safe can be. xx
