Ancient River

Ancient River

Hidden from view
An ancient river
Deep and wide
In seeming stillness
Gently covering
Its powerful flowing nature
Fully present it waits

Waiting to
Wanting to
Yet ever patient
It reveals itself fully
Only to those
Bold enough to
To seek it out

Like the ancient river
There is a river of love
Flowing through each of us
Its gentle power can
When we allow it
Transform our lives
And our world

The last 12 months have been the hardest of my life. The lightening quick ending of a 26 year marriage, partnership and friendship. The loss of my best friend of 30 years and the loss of other close friends. I am a poet and writer. Writing helps me move through both the joys and the fears and the pain with swifter and more useful degrees of grace and wisdom. Right now life is challenging, so the poetry reflects that. FYI Be in joy, in all ways! ~william
