Each Soul Is like a River Bearing Love

April 21, 2019

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is Easter and Passover. The first night of Passover was on April 19^th, and Easter is celebrated today, April 21^st.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

An Easter poem about soul and the self:

Each soul is like a river bearing love

Across a desert thirsty for its treasure,

Sliding towards the sea, where it will lose

The self, which would its burden weigh and measure,

Even as it irrigates green fields,

Rewarded by the grace its gift reveals.
