Rushing River

The river seems in a rush-

Where does it think it's going?

Little waves are racing by

And my ideas are flowing.



As it keeps streaming along

Worried wrinkles crease its brow.

I feel it's late for a date

That it must meet anyhow.



Race on! Race on dark river.

Race on! Keep picking up speed.

For it is October's end

Winter's soon in thought and deed.
