glory

She wades waist deep 

Into the perfect stream

Everything glistens

And the water ripples softly

 

Some leaves drip drip

And others pass slowly by

It is all so dreamy

As the before the gates of

A place of resting

 

She listens now to the wind

Creeping through the air

It seems she has found her mother

Her soul at least to hold

 

It doesn't wail

No woeful sounds pass

Through spirit lips

She only feels her kindness

And the warmest of fingertips

 

The woman leaves the water

Little streams blind her eyes

She allows them to flow a little longer

Then wipes them away as she whispers goodbye
