Poem; River of life

A page in the diary "My diary"

I’ve always known that all streams lead to the ocean
But I’ve never been one to be washed up full of emotion
I often take the journey down through the hills to the sea
More often than not I get swept out where no one can find me
When I feel myself melting under the intensity of the sun
I swallow in anguish thinking my insides are bubbling undone
Finding some shade is at times hard when my body is bound
I listen to the trickle of water but somehow it’s lost its sound
Raising my voice I only get drowned by the crashing of waves
Maybe its time to walk on water I do know that Jesus saves
But standing in a pool of tears I find it hard to keep my head up
I stay wondering as my eyes slowly close do I drink this bitter cup
But hovering over the waters is your comfort and your love
I wait for that green leaf to come flying in the mouth of a dove
I want rest and to feel joy sweeping over me but still I will say
Thankyou father for the river of life and the sun of a new day
