where rivers talk

the memory of a lover

I do
remember

the bloom
of a smile

the lilt
of a voice

the look
of healing

where rivers
talk

and birds
walk

as grass
grows

and dreams
sow

This is so simple, reminds me of Blake. Sometimes the most simple poems are the most effective, and this is one. It's evocative. However; being a fiend regarding rhyme and metre, I'm disappointed that the last line didn't pull it into shape. My immediate response was to mutter -
'with dreams
stealing.'
Just my take on it.

Simple and yet with depth and meaning, its been too long since Ive come to visit.

Strange. I've been going back and forth on my musings concerning whether or not love is simple. I've read some poems that make it seem very complex but this is one of few that make it seem so simple. I can't say I've made a decision based on your poem, but for the time being I'm leaning more in that direction.

The simplicity of the structure gives it a heavy feel, not many are able to do that, I commend your rare talent. Keep that pen going!

A moment captured where hope and dreams are restored in a place of natural beauty. Lovely, lovely piece.
