Silently Rushing Rivers

Jennie Lynn Thrush 1983 (Grand Rapids)

Chattering cheers
Hopefully no tears
Voices in my head,
They sound like thee.
Criticizing me
Back side of the leaf.
Wind blown.
Trees shake
branches, bend
snap!
I feel a quiver in my hand
a flinch of thumb
White noise
Muffling thoughts
Crying
Invisible
Bringing no
Attention
Silently rushing
Rivers!
