The River Runs Wild...(A Tale In 160 Characters)


The River Runs Wild...
(A Tale In 160 Characters) 
By Pete Marshall

The current flowed beyond the rocks
Where fish would dart and children stopped
And mothers would grieve on Parson's Lawn
As waters still flowed from dusk till dawn

The juxtapositon of the life around and in the water and the mothers grieving...you pack a lot in 160 characters!

Lovely to have you back, Pete.

A beautiful analogy.. Life too goes on..
Things come our way, they go.. but we march on, with the eternal hope of finding our dawn as well..
A beautifully out verse here, Pete..
Thanks for this lovely 160!
