The Turquoise River Rapids Poem

By Pamela Storch

Turquoise river raging clear,

Sheer power, nature's flow,

The beauty of the rapids,

What it takes, will surely go,


Accumulate does water not,

It flows with grace and ease,

If driftwood floats along the path,

Its roots are not with trees,


A moving canvas on display,

The river takes its hold,

Removing what might come its way,

From shores and ashes old,


Washing every moment new,

Its power on display,

The life force of the river,

Washes time itself away.

A vivid and powerful poem by Pamela Storch, “The Turquoise River Rapids” explores the unstoppable force of nature and the flowing essence of time through poetic imagery of a turquoise river and its ever-moving rapids.
