returning to a place

River roll on
Don't provocate
Just keep running
Catharsis will come.
Sooner or later
All that's left
Is the flavor
Of how You
Acted.
Deescalate! Flow on!
O River
Looking for
Your
Breakthrough.
Thank GOODNESS
life's storms always break.
We come out the other side
awed, and cleansed.
And should one be
The One
that takes you?
WHAT away to go!
Celebrate, Friends
Fondly, cloudia
