The River Flowing Through My Heart Poem by Janice M Pickett

There is a river flowing through my heart
A stream at times a waterfall at others
Obstructions may sometimes get in the way
but without them
how would I learn to navigate
this passage of many turns?

When I look to the heavens
I see a golden light
it casts shadows across my path
but also leaves rays of hope
as it shines on the ripples
of currrent pushing forward

My heart feels the flow
it sees the light and it knows
the source from where it comes
The small cavern from where
this stream so beautifully bursts
cascading downwards
through beautiful gardens
of love and life

I am safe
I am protected
I am loved

So flow beautiful river in my heart
for I could not do this alone
You will always be there
bursting forth from the depth of
spirit
Filling my stream of life with beauty
and all forgiving love
