At the river bend
ELI AND ELLA POETRY

Love starts off a gentle drop
Tiny spots in drum-like pots
A pitter -patter on windowpanes
Wind picks up, soon it’ll rain
Shut my window tight, I may
Only these flecks of feeling come to stay
And just like lightning before the Crack
It’s swift to strike; we name it “spark”
As a flash flood is never contained
So is amour like pouring rain
Leaving whoever dares drenched to toe
In this depth none decides stop or slow.
Careful! A river has many bends
Love alike leads many to end
Ecstatic younglings now numbered head
One must learn to swim or fend
And you may say, “Stay out, friend”
To this, I’ll laugh, maybe shake my head
None can predict the current but God
Try you may to mute life’s long song
But even the bravest take a fall
It seeps in the cracks that make you man
Till you accept His Grand master plan
That all will bow when His Name is sound
Seekest thou the trumpet now?
