Now, we’ll all have our time on the rapid
And we may end together, alone,
going ‘round and about in an eddy
bruised and broken and soaked to the bone.
But the eddy keeps silent the wild current’s call
alongside those now grateful captains and all
we are given reprieve from a death at the fall
as we move to and fro’ in the spin.
We stand safe, as the spin takes us in.

Now, those captains must learn what the river will do
when it makes that great turn out of sight.
How it dashes them up on the rocks of the shore
How it spins to the left and the right.
It beats them and breaks them and crushes their pride
Leaves them dizzy and sick and all jumbled inside
‘til they’ve all but forgotten that glorious ride
lying flat on their deck in the sun.
There they lie, drying out in the sun.

As you round the point where the river was bent
and survey the great wideness ahead,
you can see all those captains alone on their decks,
beat and broken and very near dead.
Then the current takes hold and there’s naught you can do
as it drags you down into its maw.
Headed straight for those rocks, you make ready to crash
but at last, you rise up, roll and yaw.

Going back and away, then forward again,
fearing each time, the rocks will prevail!
You’re trapped in a cycling, circling tide,
in an eddy withstanding a gale.
But each time you circle that great whirling tide
and you’ve not hit the rocks or been thrown to the side
and you’re kept from the falls, cascading and wide,
for the eddy’s small mercy give praise.
Give the merciful currents your praise!

A serene and rustic autumn landscape, featuring an aged John Deere farm implement (a seeder or planter) in the foreground. The old machinery retains its weathered green and rust colors but is now positioned amidst a carpet of vibrant fallen autumn leaves in shades of gold, orange, and russet.

The large, leafy trees in the middle ground, which were green in the original image, are now transformed into glorious specimens of fall foliage, displaying brilliant yellows, fiery oranges, and deep reds. The distant field shows hints of freshly turned earth or dry, golden stubble. In the background, the small house with the blue roof remains, nestled amongst a dense forest that is also ablaze with autumn colors.

The sky is a clear, bright autumn blue, with warm, golden sunlight characteristic of a pleasant fall day, casting gentle shadows and highlighting the rich textures of the old equipment, the tree bark, and the colorful leaves. The overall mood is one of peaceful rural charm, autumnal beauty, and the quiet dignity of farm life as the seasons change.
Out where the river runs wild and free
and only the brave dare row;
where the rapids are deep, and the challenge is fresh
and it takes them where it means to go.
With breakneck speed, grinning into the wind,
standing straight on the bow of their craft,
just a glimpse now and then of those captains you’ll catch
flying by, near capsizing your raft.

They’ve no time for advice to those standing on shore
or to aid the ones just wading out,
for their task is to pilot this current, they think,
and it’s all they can do to stay out of the drink,
and their lives could be gone in the space of a wink
should they lose but a moment to doubt.
Standing tall, they never must doubt!

A vibrant and atmospheric impressionistic painting capturing the essence of the provided photograph: two figures on bicycles, a child in the foreground and an adult behind, crossing a rustic wooden bridge over a flowing stream. The scene is transformed into a glorious autumn landscape, where the surrounding trees are ablaze with rich, impressionistic brushstrokes of brilliant golds, fiery oranges, and deep reds, intermingled with patches of lingering green.

The wooden bridge itself is rendered with textural, broken brushstrokes, suggesting its weathered planks, with scattered fall leaves painted in warm, detached dabs of color. The stream below glimmers with soft reflections of the autumn light and foliage, depicted with fluid, expressive strokes. The figures on the bicycles are captured with a sense of movement and energy, their forms suggested rather than precisely detailed, blending into the lively, shimmering atmosphere.

The sky above, if visible through the canopy, is a soft, luminous blue, hinted at with delicate washes. The lighting is soft and diffused, characteristic of a pleasant autumn day, creating a radiant and inviting mood. The overall effect is one of fleeting beauty, captured light, and the joyful freedom of a crisp fall ride, rendered with the characteristic loose, vibrant brushwork and subjective color of impressionism.
