A Covenant of Water



Begins as a presence, a hovering
over the waters, a breaking open
of the deep, it becomes a promise
ratified by a rainbow of remembrance
set in the sky’s white vapors,
a remembrance not to the mist
that rises for a time above the lake,
nor the wisps of mists,
but a remembrance to the presence,
to the hovering, of what
it has promised, a covenant
of water everlasting.

Beautiful, Glynn. This is so peaceful, so reassuring.
I'll miss seeing you in Texas.

Glynn,

This seems very spiritual to me, a going back to The beginning and to God's promises and to the Spirit hovering over those first waters and hovering still about our life, still keeping his promises.
