"A Walk Along the River"

 

"A Walk Along the River"

Greg Budig 2021

The river moves like 

black ink through the 

ice and boulders along 

the shoreline. 

The gulf stream 

has risen from the 

delta through 

the night. 

March is creeping 

from the south.

 Warmth and moisture 

surging north.

Walking along the river 

in the early morning fog. 

The robins find their 

voices in the darkness. 

Feeling like a 

specter who glides 

alone amongst the 

grieving shadows. 

Feeling suspended 

in the atmosphere, gliding 

along the river's edge to 

watch the seasons change.
