Pure River

I am life

I am beauty in the deep of noon
Mountain mirroring in water blue
I whistle birdly in the aftereven
When the tender core
Of my human part
Listens in wonderment
I am life and the earth sees me
Sunsetting and sunrising
And dangling a moon jewel round her
And the earth loves me
And is me

And the human loves me and might be me

But loves more than me
The thought of me
And the dream of me
Which is not what I am
For I am not dreaming
I am heavening and earthing
And treeing and clouding and humaning

But I am not dreaming
And I am not imagining me
Other than I am
Be true O man
O woman be true
And I shall be your truth
Be lovely child of God
And I shall be your love
For I am life
And I am you
And I am all

  1. He was such a wise and gentle soul. I love his poetry and words. This makes me feel peaceful and ready to take on the challenges that life presents to me with grace and longing for a world where are creator beings in the truest form.

  2. Pure indeed as the Soul given in total to our Lord and King.
    I will feel lucky at the end of my days to walk hand in hand with you.

  3. This is one of my favorites of Ted’s beautiful poetry. His presence in form is missed. His beauty remains with us.
