Gypsie’s Wonderful World of Words

Shakespeare published 154 sonnets in his quarto in 1609. While the initial 126 are addressed to a young man, the final 28 are directed toward an enigmatic woman referred to as the dark lady.

Mother of all Rivers

By Ami (Gypsie) Offenbacher-Ferris

Wikipedia.org

She travels across continents

bringing food and fresh water

to those on her banks

to her populace

Snaking through the land

feeding monkey, ape and man

Deity for thousands and thousands

of years

Older than old

and nearly the longest on Earth

Narmada River gave us all birth

so protect her now we must

      Thank you Sadje, I think I’ve turned a corner. Still extremely weak and have little breath but the fever seems to be gone for good. Fingers crossed. Thank you for your care and concern. ❤️
