A Pause for Poetry

Take Me to The River

Take me, take me now to the river I
Yearn all my days. Take me to the
River and refresh my soul, for I am
Wending my way home. Take me to
The scintillant, shining waters and
Anoint my spirit for my journey on
The long river. I am old and yearn
For the pristine, quenching water,
Sparkling to the sea. Take me now,
I am on my way home.

Behold the Mystery

Let the day unfold, unfold in beauty.
May we walk, walk in beauty, in the
Seasons, four a year. All unfolds, all
Creates, all about, never-ending.
Change is beauty, it is glory, it is pain,
It is joy. Mysterious force shines from
Sun and stars, travels from our galaxy
And beyond, a mystery to behold we
Live. Unfold in beauty, unfold in glory,
Unfold in pain, unfold in joy, day by
