My contribution to today’s Word of the Day Challenge: River.

this tranquil motion
combined destructive power
river’s dual nature

A river, though sometimes calm and tranquil, and sometimes raging through storms, always erodes it’s surroundings. No matter the gentleness of the moment, there’s inexorable change, micron by micron, creating canyons and corroding mountains. Water’s gentleness is deceptive.

A Walk Along The River

Along the river
My feet move through the sunlight
Serenity speaks

Walking Alongside The River

After days of rain
The river’s running quite high
An eagle watching

Along the Ganges 

​In my mind’s eye

On the Ganges shore 

Sunlight rises from the east 

Comparative silence

As the city returns to life
