by the river of time <br />no one stands still <br /> <br />the river of time <br />carries everyone away <br /> <br />on wrinkled creeks <br />on waterfalls that stop <br /> <br />to fall on rains that <br />consume themselves <br /> <br />on leaves that crack <br />to the power of the sun <br /> <br />the river of time drowns <br />us all to the comfort of oblivion.<br /><br />RIC S. BASTASA<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/by-the-river-of-time/
