Listen to poem:

Refreshing

Sometimes the dry desert wind
Strips slowly the sandless skin
Of the soul 

Gentle balm of the wide Spirit
Settling upon the surface 
Singing a song of suppleness 

Message of the mindful reflection 
From the internal mirror 
Of the heart

Home to the fruitful Spirit
Residence of the restoring, loving kindness
Of the refreshing riverside

Where solace comes, pacifying
With the sounds trickling and dancing
Over cool stones of thought

Jim Slaughter January 4, 2025 at 10:07 AM Growing up in the West Texas desert, as I did, the first stanza here really resonates with me. This piece really reflects your "wide" and "fruitful" Spirit, Sam. Sam Scott January 7, 2025 at 12:14 PM The desert is an intriguing wilderness and a cruel mistress of extremes. Thank you for your insight and kindness, Jim. Blessings, Sx :)
