James, that is a magnificent poem. I don't think I've ever read anything quite like it . I agree with what Hasse wrote about the last stanza. It reminds me of certain art movies where the movement of water is metaphoric to the flow of life and its ending.
James, I read to the children at my Barnes and Noble once a month, and I've been picking picture books that emphasize that connection. After all, we all live, and our dependent on our 'house' - the planet earth: its water, land, animals, plants and families should embrace each other and be caretakers of the house.
Despite your apology for your voice, I really enjoyed the quality that reading aloud gave to this one.
Appreciated! (I promise it's no longer as raspy.)
It is a wonderful poem that reflects the effort. I enjoyed it.
Thanks so much, Richard. Much appreciated as always.
Excellent.
Very much appreciated. Wasn't sure I was going to be able to get this one up to scratch, but it finally felt decent enough to share at least.
Really enjoyed this and did a little reading on Heraclitus.
Thank you, glad you did! Interesting guy, for sure.

Thanks so much, Sandy. I think sometimes it's easy to think of ourselves and others only as discrete brings, but I think we're our connections, too.

Beautiful. That last stanza really moved me. I like how it gives dignity to both the continuity and the disappearance of legacy, as I read it.
Thanks so much, Hasse. And yeah, that’s how I saw it, too.
