Zen River Memories
by Kent Bowman
Savouring this back road rendezvous
North of Seven,
filled with promise, contemplation and peace.
Escaping from a world driven insane
by endless reports of disaster,
I watch this river find its time-laden course,
while the rest of the world
scurries towards oblivion.
