Two very poetic topics, @zentalk : the river and time. His poems are made of simple and very significant images. In the case of "The River", I value this poetic phrase: "The river glistens in the sun glimmering flickering through the day as it means around and it makes its own way ". The allusion to the stillness and spiritual enjoyment of life and nature, made me think of the famous book by Henry Thoreau, Walden; unfortunately such a distant life in these times. In relation to "Oceans of Time", I particularly appreciate his phrase: "In oceans of time one may just go blind". And he associated both images of the river and time with the famous aphorism of Heraclitus: "In the same rivers we enter and we do not enter, [then] we are and we are not [the same]". The passage of the river that is the very evolution of life that flows, and is different every moment, but the same. "We are the river ", would say Jorge Luis Borges. Thank you for sharing your poems, and encourage our reflections, @zentalk.
