River of Life

Down a mountain flows a river,
Surrounded by the dry saddened sands of a dusty desert's cold shiver,
Looked upon by the ever clear skies,
Studded and starred by the most beautiful of lights!

Swaying here a slash a bounce a hit upon a stone there it stumbles,
with no intention of a direction it rushes and fumbles.
To downstream like with a blindfolded eye,
So it falls as a waterfall it falls!

Among the grains and sands it fawns and drains,
But with Hope in heart so strong and never a false,
That the salt sultry sea upon the bend,
Will be the so sought salvation in the end!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
