The Rivers Edge

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kneeling at the waters rippling reflection Stirring this thirst inside to quench.... Washing the dust from reasons tender hands as Angels part their curtains to gaze in, loves Soft lashes, blinking gently as they smile upon Heavens child, adorned in jewels of purpose.... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ....“Kneeling, At the Rivers Edge” *

refreshing to kneel at this beautiful river's edge and have the 'thirst inside' quenched, while 'angels part their curtains to gaze in', exquisite verse :-)

I feel the serenity in the gentle painting you weave with your pen John; there are always fascinating images to ponder and I enjoyed this so much, Luv, Elizabeth
