#Filipino Blog: "I Am The River" ~♥~Poetry~♥~

♡I Am The River♡

I Am The River…
I am the river;
poured out
of God’s
celestial pitcher:
a full river;
swollen with His tears.

I am the river;
my banks hold
the flow
of a nation:
denied, crucified, died,
resurrected and sanctified.

I am the river;
my tributaries flow
wide and deep—
outward, inward, upward,
downward and back
to the source.

I am the river;
The flowing essence
Of a mother’s womb—come
Wade in my history
And let the wetness of ourstory
bathe away all your delusions.

I am the river;
the river
of your birth:
come and swim in me.
