Deep within me there is an urge
one that makes the rivers surge.
Rambling throughout as streams
thoughts flow endlessly it seems.
Connecting waters that intersect
fond memories, soothing reflect.
Forming eddies as whirl pools
catching droplets, crystallized jewels
Words written upon the sea beds
wash out to sea knowledge spreads
Sitting as the rivers runs by me
under the shade of a big oak tree.
My head is full of things to say
But they can wait for another day
Waves dance about as they sway,
Like the waters that end in the bay.

When I was 17 I read in an encyclopedia that poetry is the noble expression of noble emotion. You take me back to those days again.
The last stanza reflects to me the feeling of every poets who loves this art.
My head is full of things to say
But they can wait for another day
Waves dance about as they sway,
Like the waters that end in the bay
how can anything else beat that longing and desire?
I saw a typo on the second line of the first stanza and i think the article "the" should be removed and replaced with "that".
a splendid write. Keep it up.
