the sun is sparkling, the rain rumbling, and we badly need some poetry...

Russell Streur - One Poem

PORTRAIT OF A WOMAN IN WATER 

Take me in your water
Your Huron and St.John
To your bay and hope
Your cape and horn

Take me in your water
To your ebb and flood
Your everglade and melt
Your beck and tide

Take me in your water
Your mill and race
Your drift and run
To your spirit lake

Delta of your mouth
River of your embrace
Your dew and spring
That deep cool place.
