Hello — I’m almost as nervous about tomorrow as I was on the day before my wedding. Hoping to turn that emotion into creative energy once the marathon starts. Also hoping to get enough sleep tonight. Such us the power of writing.

Hello — I’m almost as nervous about tomorrow as I was on the day before my wedding. Hoping to turn that emotion into creative energy once the marathon starts. Also hoping to get enough sleep tonight. Such us the power of writing.
I still can’t find out where to post a poem. Here is the first one.
Being in water
Come here the river said
Come here
Pretty little girl three years old
I know you love me
From the river bank you watch me flow downstream
I hear you wishing you could flow like me
Or even be part of me
Wish no more pretty child
It’s easy this flowing
Here is a beautiful floating wood chip
Blue-green your favorite color
So easy for you to reach….There!
Now you can flow with me
No one saw you splash
No one will miss you anyway
Especially not her…or will she?
Will she wonder?
Will she panic? Search? Run around?
Look over the bank?
Too late….by then you and I will be downstream
Out of sight
You’ll be all mine
Until I tire of you
Replace your air with my own water
Feel your body go still
Until I let you catch on a low-hanging branch\
For someone to find
Someone who will carry you home
Listen to her weep
Her lifelong weeping
Will end
I will continue to flow
