I spoke to the river,
it listened to my sorrow
a gust made lilies quiver
I then looked on below
a fountain did cascade
the sound of water sprayed
I couldn’t help but smile
feeling better all the while.

I’m so glad the poem spoke to you, Karuna. I love water!! In Toronto I first moved to Lakeshore…every morning I could see the most beautiful sunrise over the lake:) just like the river growing up:)

Yep…there is ice fishing on lakes and ponds and some rivers. I learned to skate on the river behind my house. But winters are not the way they were with global warming, it is unpredictable. I would NOT go on rivers or lakes anymore.

We are expecting 41 factoring in the humid-ex (105F) tomorrow…we could send you some humidity. And poor Saskatchewan that is struggling with flooding.

Thank you kindly for commenting and for following my blog. I am truly honoured….the water does it mostly for me but at work we are fortunate to be allowed to step on our rooftop and I often see beautiful sunsets. Nature truly is soothing. Cheryl-Lynn
