“Character develops itself in the stream of life.” Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Washes There's a sound that washes out the tension coiled in the back of my mind, gently flowing among the reeds like flute sonatas flooding slowly through the brook of my body, refreshing as it goes, softly singing me a love song connection, an invitation to an acceptance of dips and hollows, the roots and rocks that help to form my song.

Lovely poem and I could feel the tension leaving my neck and shoulders as I read it .
