banks of the charles

following the natural curves, carved by the flow

rich soil on the banks as elements meet

glowing golds, reds, greens

strong browns, tans, grays

feet, wheels, and boats all follow this path

for the motives of commute, recreation, and a mix of both

the water is the cornerstone that signals all direction

centuries ago, navigation would be harder

marsh instead of land, made by man

yet the river still flows, and we still follow

charles river cambridge, ma
