My last entry in Bits & Pieces for 2018. A look back at where my poetry on Wattpad all began with By the River and From the River.

Returning to the river

Where my poetic steps began

Standing on the bank

Near where the silver water ran

I gazed into its mystery

Wondering would I see

Once again the image

Of that captivating she

The day that I first spied her

Lingers with me yet

Her lithe and graceful presence

Familiarity I'll not forget

And time later, behind the glass

When she appeared to me again

And through our hands upon its surface

An understanding did sustain

Was this my imagination begging

Once again that I might feel

That extraordinary moment . . .

Yielding to my zeal

I stared into the water

Eyes probing through the layers

Surrendering to the reality

She was only wishful prayers
