At the Edge of the Water

Peace flows gently On the shores of a creek Softly speaking To emotions, healing Caressing the breath Serenity so soothing, Like a silent hope Poured out over a soul Blessed, sacred God’s whisper of joy Intimate like a dream Gasping through heartbreak Light reflecting faith His presence on the air Wonder beyond wishes, Magical and life saving – music In the form of gentle Trickles of cool, clear liquid Kissing the soul, alive With shimmering reflections In sunlight, wispy shadows Imagining laughter Into the secret places Where there is no memory No doubt, no depression No hesitation or fear Never a tear or anxiety Wherever the creek moves Laughs blessings, tender Murmuring undertones, sighs Giggles like children Playing contentedly, in water Where there is only Harmony, quiet notes of calm Cool, clear waves of inspiration Appeasing the imagination Assuring souls that His love Is poured out over those Slick, smooth stones Where we all go when we need To feel the blessed winds Grace and peace Like a bed of memories Beneath quiet trees Who know what it is to feel Peace like a stream Water breathing its charm Over the heart and soul! I’ll praise Him through my reflections Of a creek where I found His nurturing Rushing over my bones, detailing Each thought with prayers of hope April 23, 2022
