This is a very lovely haihu write, in form, imagery and tone... instantly the lyrics of "Jesus love is like a river flowing gently through my soul..." came to mind. The serenity that flows through the lines of this piece is truly superb. Thank you for sharing. God Bless, Always, Adell

This is short, Joseph, but these poems always leave one thinking volumes. Interesting how you can have one idea that can spread out and travel such long distances. :) Hope that all's well with you and yours..am very happy to see you had more postings. That 'rock' must be metamorphical, because your muse certainly is part of it. Oh well, before I ramble on again =/...I will wish you and yours the best! God bless you...Mikki :)
