Our Past And Present

water under the bridge


as it 
flows
away, 


it 
arrives: 


there is 
no 
past tense 
in a 
river.

  2. I like that - 'no past tense in a river'. I also really like the photo. Thanks for both! A pleasure.

  5. I wish we could just build a house of love over the river, and witness how things mundane flow underneath. But that's impossible, yet too magical to think about. Smiles.

  6. Like the old saying goes, it's water over the dam.
