Water

Refresh

By Rick Henry Christopher Published 2 years ago • Updated 2 years ago • 1 min read

Traveling on through darkened tunnels

Discovery is a glistening lake

The air is clear

The water pure

This is where my soul awakens

A flowing stream that fills my body

It is here I came to realize

That forever my path is guided

My heart once tarnished by the darkness

Is being filled with lessons learned

In the shade of paradise

The water is refreshing life

I sit back on the greenery

Blades of grass between my fingers

The sun beams bright

The breeze is calm

Streaming through the swaying trees

I journey through the rocky shore

My feet are covered deep in algae

With my hand I stir the water

Making movement, ripples, patterns

I see it right in front of me

It’s awesome and inspiring

How the water is alive

Sparkling full of miracles

I’m walking to the rushing river

It empties to a peaceful lake

Standing in a realm of glory

The water fills the air with beauty

The moss has gathered ‘tween my toes

Like walking on a bed of clouds

The birds are singing songs of love

Gliding through the rays of sunshine

The water is a moving body

Displaying action

Giving life

The winds have brought me to the water

Just so I may be revived

When my heart was rough and calloused

Like the crudest grit of sand

The water came and washed upon

The soil of this hardened land

It grabbed my hand and said come follow

To a place that we call home

I sit here in this land of peace

And reflect upon the calmness

I stir the water with my hands

As I watch the ripples widen

With much love, RHC ❤️
