Sunil Sharma writes, Robert Maddox-Harle shoots

RIVER



On the blue bosom of the river



tiny crests created by 
the painting fingers


of a restive Aeolus 
pensive, yet playful
at the same moment;



uneven lines



break and re-form 
on the fluid surface


a motion perpetual 
by the wind and water


being witnessed



by a stationary 
passerby--- a 
poet-photographer



in awe of 



the tranquil place 
once, a loved haunt 
of the heathen gods,



re-connects, this scene, a yearning heart 
with the traditions of the "pagans" 
seeking divinity 
in such Grecian sanctuaries


and a global tribe of believers 
----the neo-Hellenic worshipers of nature 
in ugly cities of concrete and polluting vehicles



the fleeting moment 
conjures up


new pathways to profound
illuminations.
