Journey not taken

Embudo in the Fall by J. Binford-Bell

Journey

Rivers call to me
Invite me to explore
To know where they go
and from where they come.

Rivers whisper
to my heart 
of journeys not taken
and memories of those I have.

Rivers sing
even in the stillest spots
of falls and rapids
just around the bend.

Rivers call
Come
join me
here.

Magpie tales is a weekly poetic challenge to writers. Tess Kincaid posts a visual prompt which is to excite the muse in our souls. Not every prompt works for me though it is a challenge to try and stretch. Her prompt this week was a photograph of a river taken by another. I felt inspired not merely to write but also to use my own lazy river image.

  4. I took the river less traveled by, and that made all the difference.
