Han River Poems : waiting on you-all

Monday, August 24, 2020

divvy up time and life will accrue

the days will march past

weeks and months

all march past

each in its own time

each at its own pace

redeeming itself when it is due

there is a swim in the pool

a nap on the cot

lunch with the wife

whether it is healthy or not

a walk to this spot under the rainbow bridge

as the Han River passes within my reach

i have a pen

i have a book

and i have a stool

i take in the sights

leaving some slack

for when surprises arise

to get off the track

when windless clouds motionlessly wait for a painter

anybody with an easel and brush

and unwaving tall grass

unbent by birds

On the edge of the frame

staying the same

around the landscape

the river remains

running, running, running, running

the river remains running

my parched mouth gets

wetted, wetted, wetted

oh so

stunning, stunning, stunning.
