Drinking in the Spirit – v2


Drinking in the Spirit
the lily pads before me
breathing in the wall
of the Master’s world
of His mighty works

drinking in the water
the shimmering color
the mood itself
breathing, aglow

bleeding, melting,
the colors flowing
the ancient story
the pond reflecting
the Master’s brushstrokes
