Your face 'tis mirrored in the river- <br />Along its banks where moss and algae grow- <br />Shadows of the dark forests unfold slowly- <br />'Neath the lemon moon- your reflection- simply glows; <br /> <br />Evening has locked its ebony blanket in- <br />'Cross the rivers green-gardened theme- <br />Fireflies flutter their brillance and gossemer wings- <br />While the river unfolds unfathomnable things; <br /> <br />In the valley under the mountains spires- <br />The zenith touches the skies broken white clouds- <br />And the fireflies- now even in daylight- <br />Mirror your reflection- in the river so proud; <br /> <br />Oh such divine whispers you share with me- <br />Cupping my chin in your most loving of hands- <br />Moving one in a caressed sweep 'cross my cheek- <br />Oh 'tis magical-this green gardened river land; <br /> <br />Where love n'er can e'er perish... <br />As 'tis strong water-'tis strong as death- <br />Reflections carry on our love song- <br />That seeps from your fervant and longing breath; <br /> <br /> <br />143<br /><br />Theodora (Theo) Onken<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/green-river-valley/
