Waterfalls dripping courage

 

 

A tender soul.

She speaks to us in verse.

We hear power, soul, and spirit

in her written words.

Her radiant sky of destiny is clear,

validated and confirmed.

She is the

Keeper

of the

Waterfalls Dripping Courage.

 

 Humility and Power

are not easy to maneuver.

 She is a swift river

peaceful stream

moonlit eve,

the first kiss

of

hungry lovers. 

She is our gracious

Keeper of the Waterfalls

Dripping Courage.

 

Bathe

within her waters,

nourished by respect.

Refreshed and cleansed with

cool waters

of kind acceptance.

 

Contests of prompts.

 Her secret ingredients

  Put us to the test.

Write!

 

Hear within yourself,

 beauty, magnificence

a new dawn's

awakening.


Write!

She commands,

 fearless in your imagery,

Return to me,


YOUR

 Waterfalls dripping Courage!

 

I humbly "submit." 


 

 

 


 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author notes

I have learned so much from Riftkin's writes, I remember
the first time I read her poetry, I just shook my head,
and wondered how did she do that?

So many lessons I have learned by reading her poetry.
I have been greatly encouraged by her kindness too as
I struggle to learn my keyboard is not the dragon.....
"I am."

I hope you enjoyed your poem dear poet, and I still think
you write with the strength of twenty men!

    Beautiful

    This is a very very beautiful piece of writing. The imagery here is outstanding. It is sort of sensual and the words float and glide across the screen, lulling the reader into reading the next line. I am sure that Riftkin will be overjoyed with this. She is a great writer. Well done my Sister.

    Much love
