On my hands and knees to see a waterfall touching minute stones cascading wearing stone
Only a foot across fresh water running over gravel taken surface from hardened subjects to spread onto small birthing elements
Pure running diving trickling touch
Captured in an instant
Destroyed by the capture
Recreated in another self determined path
That again flows pure and free

And like some radio preacher
A reader would feel that I am now going to launch a sermon
And yes I will

Don’t take a woman for an image
Don’t treat her as something you own
Don’t mistake love for your own fears as you run frightened
Don’t miss the good times because you fear to say you have lost the ability to know them
Take what is offered in honesty
Treat it with grace
Take what is offered in desire
And treat it with respect

In your life Bitter Creek sometimes become pain and struggle to be best forgotten
Sometimes a river of inches far too wide

A fresh rain brings water that runs over pebbles cascading in a pure force pushing those little pieces of gravel that irritate

Nice to be alive isn’t it.

Dave

very nice words

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
