NILE POEM

 

God is smiling

His rapture through

Undulating waters

In

Dark and crystal

Waves behind our boat.

 

God is whispering (her)

Sweet kisses

In tiny breezes across my ear…

 

God is chattering

By

Our friendly talk

Sailing past sunset

Down the Nile,

through the arms of life,

and the embrace of stars!
