Debra Squyres Poet Free verse

Connections

Connections

To the water’s edge for solitude
Life rippling near river’s bed
Prayers lifted now in gratitude
As burdens heavy cloak is shed

See my brothers
See my sisters
Drifting now in foreign lands
See the members
Of my family
In each and every clan

At the water’s edge in solitude
Tears mingling with life’s stream
Visions of connections interlace
As realities overlap the dreams

Robert Johnson March 17, 2013 at 3:02 PM Beyond the shores of flesh and blood the spirit knows the way. To go and join the many souls who live in yesterday. They have not gone so far away that we can not believe. That when we travel down that road, it's them that we will see. Connections! Without a doubt Debra. Such a beautiful poem. Peace. :)
