River
by Annalegra

Age Group: Adult
River
Mother, today I stood beside you
And listened to your summer song.
Your river’s gargled, lilting voice
Talked to me in her mother tongue.
The tiny rapids endless chatter
Rippled ‘cross the deeper baritone
Of currents headed seaward,
Water, traveling, headed home.
As the wavelets rippled softly out
And splashed so gently at my feet,
I took deep breaths and listened more,
My whole self feeling quite complete.
I listened to your river song
And to the chorus joining in,
The warming breeze that filled
The leafy treetops, whispering.
The killdeer and the sandling’s cries
That echoed glibbly in the air
Allowed me comfort in the thought
That I was honored to be there.
And Mother, as I stood there,
Listening to your summer song,
The reverence that filled me deep
Showed to me I was not wrong.
And the beauty of the moment,
Drew forth a single, salty tear,
For as you sang so clearly
It was your love that I could hear.
