Water flows over rocks
as seamlessly over the riverbed
the rain falls from the sky
but never reaches the ground
a block of concrete stops the downpour
even though the sea flows down
the river runs dry due to the buildings that we have created
we make our own rivers
but we call them gutters
the riverbed now runs dry
air flows over rocks
as seamlessly over the riverbed
I love how the poem as a whole is a deep metaphor.
ReplyDeleteI think the way you phrased your poem made it really enjoyable to read. (Like how the length of a line varies)
ReplyDeleteWow. This is just one amazing metaphor. It changed my life.
