THE SPIRIT AND ITS WAY



'Flowers of the River'  by  Trish

Things of the spirit can be,
fearful,

strange,
a message, a symbol.

There is a river, it goes on forever,

there is a raft, it sails into sight,

on it are people,

wearing clothes white, and wonderful,

People are moving  to the raft's edge,
surely it is not what I suspect.
One by one, they swoon
into the river,
as they fall and rise, dip and drift ,
their pure white clothes spread  out
as fronds of color, to marry them ,
with the rivers endless journey.
