Life Flows

18" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas

One can sit in the river
one can dwell in the past
or
one can flow with the river
and let shadows past
for
life does not stand still
to stagnate
to drown in a pool of swamp
nor does it float
upon obstacles beyond
life flows
find the current
enjoy the ride
for life flows
whether you like it or not
I for one
enjoy the smoothness
of the ride
embellishing all
which may arise
for life flows
as the gentleness
of the morning's glow
of awakening to the
sounds
of nature
hollering out so
hey
the sun has risen
night
time
has passed
come and enjoy
the sounds of nature
echoing
throughout
come and be alive
with
birds singing
spreading joy
in every crack
in every hole
life
flows
see your body
as nature
sees you
see your body
cherishing
nature's
glow
