"When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy." Rumi John 4: 20-14 Words from the list: heart, river, eclipse, shiver, cold, tender, lush Heavy-hearted searching for something, Seeking solace Slowly walking Down to the river Feeling cold, shivering Plodding through The lush, verdant Damp undergrowth Chilled to the bone Down at the river My spirit revived While absorbing The bubbling water spray All those negative ions Turned the spirit on I could feel peace A joy in my soul His presence near Eclipsed my troubled soul Then the hand of Jesus Touched me tenderly He drew me in Oh, what joy that filled my soul Something happened and I know I have that river flow

I'm confused - I just checked and saw no indication the contest had finalized. But still, I'll keep my congratulations in place because I think they'll be applicable soon enough ... CayCay

I so appreciate it when older poems are allowed. Many times we've already written a poem on the 'topic', one we personally like, plus, they aren't really old at all, just poems that have dark-scrolled down ... when they should remain in the light. Right?

Rightly titled. This defines what I would call poetry. Words, phrases, ideals. Even the inclusion of our Lord. Not forgetting the muse.

Always difficult when you have to choose specific words. You did well.

Yes, Victor, it wasn't so easy to write but at least we could change the words to suit out need instead of it having to be just the way it was on the list. Thanks for the visit. Sara K
