Niagara Falls… American Falls, foreground, and Horseshoe Falls (and Canada), background
Precipice
I have seen the edge
Sensed the draw
Marveled at an end
So precipitous
From a distance
Wondered at the thought
The motivation
How lack of motivation
Plays in the follow through
Understood, perhaps
Rapids and eddies
Are a part of life
But my path will not end
So abruptly
My course flows to the end
I wonder if that bird catches fish there with some success. See it? Hanging over the precipice. Yes.

This week’s theme all over the blogosphere seems to be rivers.
I like your metaphor–the precipice, the rapids and eddies of life–and glad you’re staying the course. 🙂
Did you take that photo? It’s beautiful.

I did notice that about rivers, recently.
Thank you. Yes that is my photo. Occasionally, I’ll scan my pics to see if I can find words for them. Living within 7 miles of the Falls, I was there with my camera every 2 or 3 weeks. Some of the more interesting are the ones of tourists being tourists.

That’s very cool–and funny about the tourists. I’ve never been there, so it’s good to know I’m not one of them. 😉

I like the layers of foreground and background in the photo and layers of thought in the poem.
