The River
February 27, 2013
To be carried away on a river of sound,
Flow with the music, rock with the beat.
Cry then laugh, a white water rapid of pure emotion.
Is it safe, to be carried away on the current?
What about the rocks, and the rapids?
Should we treat life as if we were being carried away on a river of sound?
Or do we shut it inside?
To be silent, or to sing out?

I love it! I like the imagery and the question it poses. I particularly liked the lines about "a white water rapid of pure emotion" and "being carried away on a river of sound", and the last two lines are very powerful, yet succinct. They leave an impact on the reader, and the whole poem makes you think and is brilliantly composed. Well done! done!
