Sundays River

Come down to river
‘tis cold you’ll quiver
Amend
and find the Giver
He will deliver
Transcend
Love’s a caregiver
Come down to river
Descend

No need to contend
when angels defend
God praise
No need to pretend
A life with no end
sans grays
Eternity spend
With Jesus your friend
Good pays

With the heart ablaze
sing salvation’s praise
Shiver
with the Spirit’s gaze
Let go sinful days
sliver
of the past a haze
baptised in Sunday’s
river

Speaks Volumes Date: 3/13/2023 8:39:00 PM This was the first Virelai poem I ever read Kim, when I read the instructions for your contest. I was in awe at the structure. Unlike other restrictive forms of poetry, this one allows a story still to be told. Your example is wonderful.

Sotto Poet Date: 3/12/2023 6:40:00 AM If you want to be one with nature, you won't find a prime spot to spend time by the bank of the river. Water has a purifying effect, and the presence of rivers has a relaxing effect. Login to Reply Kim Rodrigues Date: 3/12/2023 10:56:00 AM Thank you, Lasaad!
