As the Water flows
13 September 2015
.
The Mind is prison
To decaying Heart in Loss
Of waning Rainbows
.
The colours spread grease
All over my bent knuckles
That held on to veins
.
Slithering writhing
Clawing Heart from shadows stood
Sprouting from the ground
.
I looked back silent
Upon those withering roots
The Heart beat steadfast
.
As the Water flows
Remembering our lost future
I sail within me
.
The clouds break forth the streams of light
To dance upon the earth,
And cradled in the sands of time,
Comes a newborn baby’s birth.
A gentle breeze blows through the night,
It whispers through the grass,
And ripples on the water form
As rain glistens on the glass.

Lovely extract from the poem by Keith Burroughs. Thanks for sharing. It allowed me to discover his writings.
“Where Peaceful Waters Flow
The clouds break forth the streams of light
To dance upon the earth,
And cradled in the sands of time,
Comes a newborn baby’s birth.
A gentle breeze blows through the night,
It whispers through the grass,
And ripples on the water form
As rain glistens on the glass.
And you listen to the sound,
The Lord’s presence all around.
He summons us to go
Where peaceful waters flow.
A rainbow arcs across the sky,
A promise is displayed.
The graceful flight of a butterfly,
It takes my breath away.
The autumn leaves in their splendor
Fall gracefully to the earth,
And stars proclaim their song at night,
What is their beauty worth?
And you listen to the sound,
The Lord’s presence all around.
He summons us to go
Where peaceful waters flow”
