Tere Sievers: "Hear the Water's Music"

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is only one way, aging beauties,
to go down this river,
to hear the water's music over the rocks,
to find a loving I, Thou, Who.
I say, spring out of the boat,
jump in naked, tender,
with your ferocious heart torn open.
