Taken at the Flood

[Johntee]

River

A river,
Subterranean,
Legendary Lethe,
Sunk in forgetfulness,
Cannot be bathed in twice.
Day and daily, heedless
Of Hallmark's Calendar,
Love Declares itself,
But remains a mystery,

[Parkinsonspoet]

I love this Johntee thank you for sharing

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man. - Heraclitus

[AlexandratheLate]

Lovely in its simplicity .

[Johntee]

Many thanks for the appreciation

Concur with other commenters and am also curious of the comma at the close...or is there more to come?

[Johntee]

No RLW. Mysteries must
Remain mysterious.
The hanging comma
An oversight.
A shuffled line result,
I guess...
Although... I fondly remember posting an Autumnal Equinox verse that ended with a rhetorical question to which you added some well wintered stanzas, so if you can see a way out of this cul-de-sac I'd be happy for you to do the same again.

Johntee Could you possibly include a link to that previous piece...I've had a spin through your postings (my, my, there are 31 pages here!) and I can't seem to find it.

Then, perhaps, I'll give it a go!
