THE
RIVER
OF
BLUE
Between my fingers,
Flow blue beads,
Praying for all,
Not wants but needs.
Desiring good
For all that trespass
Against our souls
Bank beads of blue glass,
Against our being,
We stiffen and rail.
Rapids of beads
Bleed anger pale.
And though we're wounded,
Misjudged, called wrong,
Immaculate blue
Flows forever long.
Immaculate blue
Flows forever long.
