Not a Rush
Water doesn't always
have to
swirl,
rush,
drop,
fall,
erode,
to eddy
the way love can hover
and get your back up.
When it somehow
knows to lull,
to run calm at the surface,
no matter the storm below,
water recalls
quiet-like
what it's like
to be rocked
with a new mother's promise.
Well, can I say it? This is quite sexy...

Personally, I think Christians should write more of this kind of poetry. :)
Wow! I am speechless. Actually that is quite a problem when you want to leave a comment..

no matter the storm below"
Very thought provoking to my heart today.

Lovely, Maureen.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gift of images with words. I also like the line of "calm at the surface no matter the storm below"
Soothing, yet stirring.
Hello Maureen, your beautiful poem brought back memories of a piece my daughter wrote about forgiveness. "Forgiveness is a river, the water can’t go back. Only forwards, over the waterfall, straight into love."
ReplyDeleteI love,
Water recalls,

We all need to recall like water the promises of love.
Thank you for your beauty and genoristy of spirit.

ooooh.... wonderful!
Love how this is paced -- fast - then slowing - then slow. Beautiful use of the words to do that.
