Life Is A River

I am a container That carries living water (spirit) From the divine skies To the ocean of being Like a river I am swollen with the waves of uncertainty And the quietness of tranquility (stillness) Like a river I am a channel of the divine Love From the atmosphere of God Into the solid ground of the heart I am the fabric of the flowing poetic substance I am the rupturing, unbelievable roar A flood in the open plains of the heart I am a river of living water That nourishes and rejuvenates life Creating a lush wilderness of beautiful thoughts and emotions Like a river I am forever flowing to the ocean of awareness I must create clarity out of silt and muddled waters I must open the window of life And let it breathe the divine fragrance Through poetry, I have found a portal A mystery that gives us access to the heart of God I am the contents of unconditional Love The substance of the divine spirit The gospel of Faith, Hope and Love ©Kenneth Maswabi
