Pouring over night, as stunning As the stars all dreamy and bright My liquid truth, unhurried Mystifies, inspires and delights In lavender hues, so vibrant Like laughter crushing the silence In love vibrating through the hereafter Serenity soothing sorrows with solace Cool clear waters in silhouettes of prayer Praising the One who made them With hope for a lasting grace and faith That sounds like gentle waves caressing gray Whispering love through the moments Breathing assurance into the heart A stunning example of kindness flowing From a tangerine dawn to a scarlet dusk Waters wind their way from the mountains To the shores of sallow sandy beaches Caressing each thought with a sincerity That leaves the soul feeling completely whole The Shape of Water Poetry Contest Sponsored by craig cornish June 12, 2021

How refreshing to someone like me out here in dry, Fresno, California, where there is drought. We've had a cooling spell but it will end this week. It's supposed to reach 107 degrees. God bless you and good luck in the contest!
