TROUBLED WATERS PART I – The Waters turn salty

A POEM by: Fernando de Mello Pimentel

There´s a river that runs
through a revolted mind.
It carries within its currents
Troubled Waters
As the years went by
it found its way to The Ocean.
Little by little it turned salty
by the haunting memories
of dark 44.
Not even the reflecting image
of the great gig in the sky
on its mirror-like surface
was able to calm it.
“One of these days, I´ll ease these
Troubled Waters
till they may rest in peace”,
The Ocean thought to itself.
