poem of the day January 3  

The giving river

attempts to tame 

water forever within

its ragged lips

The flow inside 

its grooved funnel

slides down 

seemingly

very bounded 

by rocky edges

Yet unlike 

all fish forever

swimming

bank to bank

over a lifetime

The water of a river

has no limits 

no master

and is free  

at any moment 

to overflow the wall 

with its effortless eternity
