Waters Poems

Shadow Waters

Shadow Waters
The water-bearer leans his urn silently,
pours starlight over forsaken streets
where neon lights flash their final confessions
and shattered promises accumulate like rain.
Here in the reverse trickle of time,
where advancement is lost in its own reflection,
the era turns in, searching for explanations
in dregs of what we believed we'd gained.
Electric prophets air hollow gospels
while the crowds scroll

Waters of Today

Water pouring like a soothing rhythm. 
A rhythm trying to soothe a restless soul. 
Water rising almost to the peak, a faint scent of lavender lingering amongst the bubbles that hover atop the steaming surface. 
The warmth summoning me, to come and wash away the uncontrollable moments of today. 
Just a girl pouring her heart

Waters Swirl

  
    the staircase stops mid-air
      cobwebs choke in dust
    down, down critters skitter 
      down invisible rails

       waters swirl
    up springs Hope
      

You And I

In blue water I'm going down
swept away by the tide all sense left behind
in dark waters I might drown
caught in the current out of my mind
holding my breath and hoping
my love for you will stand the test of time
out of my depth and hanging on
for the day you say you are mine
in over my head

Come to the Waters with Compassion

Receiving an invitation from the Holy Trinity,
During my childhood I developed an affinity.
I know I welcomed this communication.
From the Holy Trinity, receiving an invitation.

I learned of divine love from our Maker, 
How important to be a giver not a taker.
Blessings bestowed from our Lord above,
From our Maker, I learned of divine love.

Forgiving is one aspect

Weeping Waters

New jacket, new bike.
Old man rode
Wobbling unsteadily
Straight into a pond,
Frustrating the ducks.

Come To The Waters

As the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.
Isaiah 55  vs 8


"My thoughts are higher than your thoughts, says Father" 
I come to the waters, an empty mind.
Fill this vessel of your needy daughter.
A new

Come to the waters, His call from oasis of bliss

Across the space of desolation, 
enfolding the desert of existence
where instead of thornbush
the Holy Spirit grows juniper,
the journey in the labyrinth of torment
is to reach the oasis of bliss,
from where He calls to come to the waters. 

I travel from the abyss of despair  
on the blessed inward journey 
through the layers of consciousness,

All You Thirsty, Come to the Waters

I strive to place God as the be- all and end- all of life
  I know He watches over me as a caring father.
        When storm clouds rise high in my sky,
      I look up to Him for guidance.

( Inspired by Isaiah 55 and reflecting on hope and faith. )

I come not full, but open wide,
With hands unfurled quietly yearning.
Your vows fall like gentle rain--
Words that flow from wells unending!

Through the clouds silver-haired persist.
I count

Come To The Waters

“Come unto me” …
“Seek ye the Lord”, “call ye upon Him” …
“For as the heavens are higher than the
earth, so are my ways higher than your
ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.”

I am an open book for I am true to myself for
I have inner strength in going through adversities
with determination and sense of self-belief.
My

Come to the Waters

I
try to
be honest
in all I say
and do. God gifted
me authenticity.
Those who really know me
can trust in my sincerity,
so I will come to the waters to
kneel there with gratitude for that and more.

Knowing me completely, God knows my thoughts,
and he knows my prayers are forthright.
For all his blessings I thank Him.
Knowing that He wants me to

Oh, Come To The Waters

As a Roman Catholic child I was taught,
    by nuns to come to the waters;
that wealth was not happiness,
      nor was a new car,
or huge house or fancy clothes !

My life has not been easy to endure, 
    full of tragedy and heartache;
but always

COME TO THE WATERS

COME TO THE WATERS
"Come all you who are thirsty, come to the waters..."Isaiah 55:15
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Childhood home woven with integrity,  
     parents steadfast, their moral compass strong.
          But talk of faith was silent,  
        

To the Waters, in Faith

He promises to care to the extreme,
If I'd drink from His never-drying stream—
That I need no coin to purchase or strive,
For He said I was made to glow and thrive.

As time slithers, wants litter front and rear,
And hope keeps fading with each passing year.
He says I need not labour hard for bread,
Yet my field yields
