standing at the edge of the water,
buzzing cicadas, leaning trees, gurgling Lilly pads – its the sound our lives makes,
twenty years before- unsettled songs – made their landing,
rainbows on the floor, wringing out my eyelids, dried-up old dishrags
can’t wipe away -what’s spilling over,
telling all my sorrows- it won’t last
can’t color over problems- that’s not gonna solve them
can’t drown away that strange land
spent too long-wondering will it ever change
rainbows to the sky- telling my old blessings
don’t pass me by, down here in the lyric,
in my spirit,
in my Sunday clothes
down at the waters
incomplete but I’m coming out a new me.

Every one of your poems is a tangible scene that I can touch and feel…set to gospel music. It’s like visiting another land!
