The River By Kristi Kirby

Gathering the sunshine
Imaginary
Gold and orange
The sunset
Glistening on her skin
The mountain river
Tumbled down
She is
Tried and tested
The world watches
And criticizes
She moves slowly
Elevating
Acquiring honesty
The love that grows
High or low
Her future is secured
Her soul is
Anchored
She is holding
Steady
To the center of her
Being
Seeing with her
Heart light
Telling her own
Story
Letting the crashing water
Fill her
The river fetches
A touch of her.
