whose waters never the same
teach us life lessons

the rivers bathe us
with the wisdom of water
flowing and cleansing

Respectfully disagree. Mine is heavily derivative of yours. A “riff.” Or, given the subject matter, perhaps a “riffle.” 🙂

OK, I will not argue with you, Gary, but yours is really beautiful. I especially like the last verse for its “riffling” effect. The use of the two verbs in gerund captures the essence of life’s and nature’s movement. Water and life as a constant flow. It is like the river’s own voice, or, as philosopher Heraclitus said, the many rivers’. 😉

My own writing tends to lean toward philosophy. I don’t intentionally write in this way but it seems to be the way in which I think. Lovely poem.

That’s so nice Marta.
Oooh you can take your leisure to visit anytime.
Your blog will go places, provided you respond well with your blogger friends.
I feel you have already taken-off.
I had a Roller Coaster ride to have my first 50 follows. I slowly learnt the ways of blogging. Of course there is a long way to go always.
I wish you all the very Best.

Yes, Marta. Like minds. It is fulfilling to discover someone else has ‘discovered’ Heraclitus and has interpreted his philosophy as being so important for our apperception. An enduring philosophical concept. I like the brevity of this haiku.
