Rollercoaster ride

waterfalls of time
un-drying, unstoppable
never turning back
absorbing  the soluble

you and I
enjoy generosity
then flow along to
experience cruelty

banging ourselves
against big stones
finding strange objects
to be owned or thrown

we alter states, as the Sun moves
an adventure in every breath –
Do the Devil and God live out there
or reincarnate in our own sheath?

It’s nice to have you
besides me, once more –
but does it really help
that you’ve been here before?

  1. wow – wonderful response/interpretation = lovely poem Rena 🙂

    I especially like the 2nd + 4th stanzas – they really add the depths to the currents within this piece …. this poem reflects the calm and turbulence of relationships … and wow, that 3rd stanza too? fantastic! great way of using water to write this piece – it works so well on so many levels from start to finish –

    thanks for playing/writing to the Sunday prompt this week
