Cleansing the Soul

kneeling; searching for redeeming peace
held closely in divine guidance
as waters flow from triton shells
pure and clear beyond depths stillness

sanctity in holy purification
cleansing thy forgotten soul
purging tearful self disdain
  [feeling sorrowful remorse]
penance of heartfelt compunction

renewing faith when hope seems lost

    Every word of this speaks of cleansing and changing, and the addition of the movement toward finding peace, very very fitting and complete. Well done.

    Thank You!!

    Thank You for Your entry: Cleansing the Soul:
    This piece tugged at Spirit and as I read this several
    times. Felt as if I was seeing You go through this process and then at the end...Success...like a new You...
    All those toxins stripped away...and a smile upon Your face...I was being shown like a bathtub...with Sacred salts...candles lit and incense burned...also music played to soothe the senses~
    Beautiful message- the last line speaks volumes!
    Powerful images You have brought forth

    These lines grabbed and pulled~
