Ruth L. Rivers Biography

Those who hold to silence; Do! Defend! :

I speak not! for the wear of words which do not mend
...

I am floating in a sea of apprehension
With worry and doubt as stars above
No call is to lost to be echoed around
Thoughts are silent as the gravity tugs
...

My mother is not perfect as some mothers may seem
Though my mother is not as dreadful as bad could be
She is flighty in her very worst
and graciously overbearing
...

Underneath the sadness of loss
Underneath the anger of pain
Underneath the sorrows today
Underneath this time and space
...

Tell me what you see out the windows
What do you observe of the trees
and the sky and the houses
What do you see?
...
