Like a river this love flows
with a current steadily strong,
it gently carries me to places
where I know my heart belongs.

I sail upon your oceans
I am lost within your shores,
and when waves crash around us
still this river does endure.

In waterfalls cascading
your essence rains over me,
recedes into my harbors
floods my soul so completely.

Tides move in so swiftly
I find safety in your cove,
let me drift away forever
in the currents of your love.



On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.
~Me~

Oh do I love these words Gentle Spirit.

Well this is a sigh of contentment put to rhyme
Hey you...good to see your name here.
this is sincerety at its sweetest.
Must be nice to be so inspired
Beautiful sentiments poetess Donna.

What an absolutely beautiful poem, Donna

It flows like a river, over the rocks...ending up as a lovely waterfall

In waterfalls cascading
your essence rains over me,
recedes into my harbors
floods my soul so completely.

I loved it!
