The Rivers Running Wild The rivers running wild through the canyons of my mind Seeking every crevice and small pathway they can find They pick up insight on the way as deeper walls are built And then deposit wisdom on the riverbeds of silt Streams run with fanatic force throughout this heart of mine They seek out any spot of warmth and comfort they can find They bring in love from others who have kindly touched my heart And fill the chambers to the brim with ones who never part The wind blows warm and gentle through the essence of my soul It carries those from far away to now complete the whole Some become a part of me as spirits intertwine It is a fusion of the faith and Love from God Divine Let the rivers of my mind flow free for any to behold Let my heart be open to the ones who need the love I hold Let the wind bring those to touch my soul, who’ve come and gone before And those who’ve left a mark have changed my life forevermore Elizabeth Santos |

This magic poetry flows from you like a fountain Elizabeth. I remain constantly amazed at the in depth rhyming scop that you are. Pean seems to be your call...... "It's a fusion of the faith and love from God devine." "Faith is the ASSURED expectation of things hoped for, the EVIDENT demonstration of realities though not beheld"............ take care precious poet........ethome...... |

Liz, Beautiful work. You have great talent my friend. The end was just perfect!!  LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
