Healing Waters

The silver chord of life it’s true,
though seldom seen by me or you,
connects our body to our soul,
and joins our spirit to the whole.

A glimpse of it we all can see,
when silver waters flow quite free
with happiness straight from the heart,
in joy so strong, with tears we part.

Again, in times of heartfelt strife
you see the chord that gives us life,
as silver streams pour down our cheeks,
the sadness from our soul now leaks.

These waters flow to heal our pain,
to ease the burdens of life’s game.
They clear the pathways for the soul,
a silver chord that joins the whole.

Ivor G Davies

The moment created this second, is a moment that's going to last.
It lives the full spectrum of time, the future, the present and past.

I'm sure we all with one accord
Our dear friend Ivor will applaud
For surely we can ill afford
To just ignore the silver chord
For if we merely keep it stored
(Like a sword)
We might get bored!
And become maud
.........lin !!

Nice one Ivor....I like this very much.
Thank you.

The greatest thing you can do for another is not just to share your own riches...but to reveal to him his own.

I am so moved
and I have glimpsed so much beauty
in your poem.

Thank you so much.

Rod,
Thank you for your rhyming response, I love responses in rhyme that compliment my poetry.

Alison
I am glad you see the poetic license I have used in comparing the silver chord of life to tears, although they do both arise from the same source.

I may be getting too serious at the moment and will have to post some counterbalance to offset this shortly!
