RIVER REFLECTIONS ~ CHANGING TIDES

By Martha Cowan


In the glow of this sunset I witness ~*~
Reflecting visions of serene and soothing beauty...
I bid the day farewell
As my thoughts softly kiss
The fading eyes of her slumber...
Falling quickly now upon the horizon...
I pray the love inside of my heart
Is absorbed within this wonder
As the journey of the waiting dawn
Evolves to find you........
Somewhere in tomorrow....
Wherever you are....
If you will stand within it's embraces...
Absorb the warmth...breathe in the magic...
It will fill you with all of the love
That has traveled across the miles.

~*~ Tonight ~*~

In search of solitude
I seek shelter
Within the arms
Of my river.....
Flowing delicately
Beneath decorations of Heaven's floor.
The sound of it's current
Is absorbed within my soul...
As my heartbeat pours
Into those tides of serenity.....
Drenching my body and my spirit....
Cleansing disillusions and fears...
Restoring my faith....
Etching your face with moonlight's pen
Upon this liquid mirror of hope
Flowing majestically before me.....
Traveling freely to places
My heart dreams to touch...

~*~ missing you ~*~

Upon these banks of restoration...
My soul quenches it's thirst in reflections
Of the moonlight
Sharing secrets spoken from the passing sun
On it's journey to awaken you from dreams...
And whisper the voices spoken from the lips of my midnight's desires....
So sweetly in your ear....
Silent voices of yesterday....
Invading your today...
With sweet promises of tomorrow..
A time for us....
To be shared...
When our today's and tomorrow's..
Are written upon the same pages
In this book of life....
Sealed with eternal love....

~*~ <3 ~*~ <3 ~*~ <3 ~*~ <3 ~*~ <3

(dreams are born within the sunset...
and given wings to fly....
YOU are the winds beneath them...)

I heard the music within your lovely words. You capture tenderness so very well.

MarthaCowan~
This is just a lovely, lovely piece.
The serenity within the calming rivers of your soul is refreshing.

And this ...

'As my heartbeat pours
Into those tides of serenity.....
Drenching my body and my spirit....
Cleansing disillusions and fears...
Restoring my faith....
Etching your face with moonlight's pen
Upon this liquid mirror of hope
Flowing majestically before me.....
Traveling freely to places
My heart dreams to touch...'


... loveliest of all !
