Flow a River of Silver Over a Semi-Precious Stone

Flow a River of Silver Over a Semi-Precious Stone

Poetry

Inspiration flows from every direction –
sometimes momentous,
sometimes accidental,
sometimes thrust on us,
sometimes born from another’s river.
Their influence, struggle, beauty, just daily life …
their simple humanity sparks the muse,
shaping our personal thoughts.
Let
it connect –
or …

Let It Pour

When you let a river of silver flow
over a semi-precious stone,
you craft exquisite jewelry.

When you let a river of gold flow
over a precious stone,
you forge a timeless gift.

When you let a river of love flow
over a human heart,
you lift a soul to glorious happiness.

When you let a river of God’s love pour
over humanity’s soul,
you awaken humility, grace, and forgiveness.

Let it pour.

If I could pour my soul
to mingle with yours,
our love would bloom.

Next –

Electricity –

that filament of us,
that spark of ethereal, living energy.
We feel it.
It drives us.
It binds us, unseen.
The filament that connects us.
We should talk about that-
The poetry of our relationship.

My wish?
Just your smile.
