Thanks goes out to Paul Williams for this inspiring photograph!

Frank, open your heart! Reflect over your watered self and look beneath the surface of Another’s side . . . For instance. . . across the lake . . . Do you see the forest there, hanging upside down? And here, drifting on my surfaces, the debris of falling fears ? Told you I could float! I’m approaching my autumn, soon... What’s dead will forever be swept away! But, His water . . . My stream. . . will be carrying little itty-bitty pieces of me, first down. . . Then up, toward the mouth of His sea. . . There, under graying skies, musing on my side of the lake, will be the gather of my face of what’s to come! Had He turned me upright from the start, I would have never understood how difficult it always is to look at myself ... And swim without floaties! Frank, but I do give a damn! God, I love Him!

Frankly speaking, your last line stole mine!

Aren't floaties those little things we naked kids leave in tubs? ;-)

Approaching life's autumn trying to look at oneself and be equanimous about it...being a poet sometimes has its disadvantages, one can see more clear through the questions fog.
Surprising!

Kimmy,
A well-wrought silky weave of perception, feeling, response and spiritual exploration and wonder.

Very crisp writing here with thoughts that skim along the mystical but so deep grooves of life and love...well done Kimmy.
