River Flows in Me
I dipped my feet in the river
Where our love was baptized
Felt the rush of the water
I was left hypnotized
What could have gone wrong?
What could have we done?
When all we have was one love
Under the shining sun
Was all the fight not worth it?
Where was the love we breathed?
Have let go of our fate?
And succumbed to hate?
I thought our love was endless
Like the river to the sea
But while streams thread the mountains
A river flows in me…

At first I was thinking of writing about my recent trip for today’s prompt but a single speck of dust that goes by the name of Gina has already wrote what my heart would want to say. Please shower her some love and read her piece, The River. 🙂
Meanwhile, this piece is inspired by one of my favorite music from Yiruma entitled, River Flows in You. This song, though only played without words, begins and ends with so much emotion in every key. Have a lovely evening! ❤

this is a beautiful love song, a real cry from the heart, I feel the sadness and also joy at having loved although lost along the way. But love is starnge it can get hurt but nurtured back again, it needs to be shown how. I adored your lines. Thank you so much for linking my post and mentioning my name! such an honour to have a tiny space here. I am so touched!

Thank you so much for the insightful comment, Gina. And I completely agree. It is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all, so they say. And you’re most welcome, your poem deserves to be read by everyone.
