William, I'm editing an etheree but as soon as I've sent that off to Thank You Notes I'm on this!

…eam
Where raindrops fell upon this barren land
And dripped from fern draped ledge of ancient dream,
Once gathered up, this journey home was planned.
The river’s grown so quick it can’t be scanned.
Can’t see my way across, depth can’t be gauged.
Look out, sharp rocks, steep drops, the current raged.
Life’s pleasant beaches turned to granite wall,
With fewer handholds, yet my fear’s assuaged.
A glimpse of sunlight shines before the fall.
Down Life’s River

William, I'm editing an etheree but as soon as I've sent that off to Thank You Notes I'm on this! I love trying new forms. Gorgeous work as always. Especially the lines above, the momentum built.
