River [a poem]

By Melody Finch | Featured Contributor

All I see is River
Crashing on its crazy course
Ever onwards, on forever
With such fervour, with such force

But there is sun…there is moon
Verdant meadow, windswept dune
Shimmering dusk, starlit sky
Scented forests, mountain high

A cheerful heart does well to me

A cheerful heart will keep me strong

A cheerful heart will keep me long

A cheerful heart will keep a song

A cheerful heart does well to me

Sword of color crafted to
Stab out our eyes.

No focal point
Only intentional slashes and swirls.

Birds see too much and so
Become experts at seeing what matters.

How pretty the plastic flowers are in
Tribute to single graves.

Mom was schizophrenic.
Dad was bipolar.
What could I get from it?
I found out as I got older.

It started when I joined the military,
Army National Guard.
I don’t believe I was wary,
Of how things could get so hard.

A lot of time had passed.
I started noticing changes,
To the point where I wore a mask,
To hide all of the passing phases.
