I sought the quietness of God
Drawing up from within me these restless pools
By a river bank, emotions sank
Into the ripples of whispering time

Free from my heart this ache departs
On the breezes of an ebbing August haze
It has one name, that was carved into my being
In the throws of rigors firm

Yet life flows all the same
But here, among bank swallow arms
I fold into the feelings and the words
And drop by drop
My dreams fall into the hollow of your hand

Soft, tender, humble...mysterious...awakening
words that flow the river's edge.

Words so deep and poignant that make me sigh, dear TD.

I absolutely LOVE:

“…emotions sank
Into the ripples of whispering time(!)”;

AND, the grand-fine ending!:

“…life flows all the same
But here, among bank swallow arms
I fold into the feelings and the words
And drop by drop
My dreams fall into the hollow of your hand”

Serious, sustained applause!
