A Certain Course (revised)
by Stephanie KentThe river...
Crawling through the mist,
Slithering along its course
Through a drapery of tree limbs.
Dawn struggling through the curtains
Clasped shut by the advancing storm
Ominously rolling over the sky;
Creeping with its hidden claws
To seize the morning tightly,
As the river continues unflinching
Along a course more constant
Than the ever enclosing veil. 07/05/2003
Author's Note: I made a few changes...I hope for the better!
