River to Nowhere

Too much said has been heard and delivered to the heart

The bridge has washed away for the fury of the water

Truth has eaten into the core of the apple

Nice is because you need something

A smile is remembering what used to be

Sorrow is knowing it cannot be changed

Depressed is having no where to turn

Dispair is treading water with broken bridge wood for years

a half eaten apple floating nearby just out of reach

and you smiling from the riverbank waving obliviously

I see that the half-eaten apple made it to the river bank and is waving at you to join it. You yourself are as that half-eaten apple. It didn't care that the bridge was not there...it floated across come hell or high water. Now it looks at you to follow it...find your float. I love how you wrote this, but you showed that the apple made it...so can you. Find your float across! Blessings!

Excellant poem. I like how well you describe the emotions so clearly. You mispelled despair though. Nice job!

Good stuff. Sometimes I also feel like I watch people smiling and waving while, I'm half eaten floating in the water.
