the river flows same place daily


the river flows same place daily
between windswept banks where brush grows
under swooping birds and meandering butterflies
a man sits on the same bench daily
arriving at the illusion of moving on
repetitively worn and being reborn
like grass that grows on burned out lawns
given storms to endure
downpours of emotion to ford
refilling the illusive river ashore
