Title: River Alive...
Post by: Angelica on February 15, 2015, 10:48:22 AM

River Alive

I bet this river knows...
I bet it can testify to more of our lives
that we'd believe possible

I bet it remembers the day
I crossed the bridge
that day when you said goodbye
leaving me in my sorrow
I bet it remembers my tears
that fell all the way down
into it's slow moving body
on it's way down to the ocean

It could probably tell all the secrets
of my love poems to you that I'd written
while lying under the big old tree
on the north bank    all the time
watching, waiting...

I bet the river even knows
-but will never tell -
when you kissed me that very first day
I'm sure it smiled and sighed     softly
passing by and lapping our feet
I know it wants to ease my sadness
wants to comfort me now
while listening silently to my sorrow

I know the river will never judge
it understands and embraces me
in familiar acceptance
I bet it will still be here
long after we've left this life   this earth
flowing gently while singing our song

(Soos dit verskyn het in Mabooki die Engelse weergawe van Woes.  Daardie jare kon ek nog Engels lees en skryf, deesdae neig ek al meer en meer na die Moedertaal.)

'n Pragtige gedig. Niks sterf algeheel nie.

Pragtig geskryf.  Dankie vir die deel Els.  Dit is hoogtyd! 
Ek wens julle wil die forum laat leef soos face book.  Ek was hierdie week daar en dit leef voorwaar.

FaceBook is iets heeltemal anders..  Daar kommentaar jou vriende vinnig en gou en die 'Like' knoppie is vriendelik.Dis soooo maklik om 'n prentjie te Share en te verskuif.
Ek vind dit moeilik om iets hier te spoeg en plak. En as iemand iets gelees het, weet jy net jou stats het 1 opgeskuif en niemand se 'n woord nie.
Nie eens 'n Like of Dis-Like.
Maar natuurlik kan ons weer die Forum laat herleef, almal moet net weer terugkom.

Moet ook se:
River Alive is oeroud.  Het jy gesien?
Ek wil nog van die Engelse goedjies op Mabooki hier pos.

Ek verstaan ja. 
Ek het gesien, maar dit is nog nie "oeroud" nie.   :angel4:
