River Mind
Written by the Kennebec River
Ripples in river
Give life to reflection
Of fall’s trees,
The truth behind
A calm facade-
Current grasps
Fallen leaves
Of reds and yellows
To decorate
Ever flowing motion-
Gaining speed
Before the drop-
Ripples give home
To turbulent souls
That never find
Their sure footing.

Frankie's Song of the Week: Espresso - Sabrina Carpenter
A little something different from me while I deal with the strain of writers block. I thought I'd do a song of the week, because I have been surely annoying my neighbours and my friends with this absolute musical GEM. I am of course talking about Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter.
