Winter’s Feral Waters

Winter’s Feral Waters

O’ river rise 

as meadows seep ,

cleansed by purging 

tempest skies downpour

The gifts of azure clouds

drawn by gravity’s gathering spell

The pathless woods’ music ,

melting snowflakes metamorphosis ,

babbling raindrops trickle , 

the rising creek starts to sing  

concealed by the wind's rhythmic roar

swaying with nature’s thrum

                   

Sloped hill looking down

through the pathless fields feral flow

Roll on eternally coursing

unto erosion sculpted shorelines'

timeless evolving form

Surrendering river banks conform

to untamed waters’ carved margins

Bequeathed waters overflow freely

seeking to rejoin sublime wild waves ,

awaiting mother ocean’s boundless play …
