Crossing The Rhine, Gratefully Thine.... Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Crossing The Rhine, Gratefully Thine....

Rating: 5.0


That sweet softening name
is still lingering in my mind
each time I am doing something else
it still evokes
it never provokes
it still is there

I cannot go anywhere
that lovely name is there
that is never haunting
nor exhausting
it is never deteriorating
it is an ever-loving tune
not only in June
this over-tune in the dune

my mind is never overtuned

never a ghost ride
in all my soul-mind-wides
but a soften touching tune
that that name provides

I am asking the Lord
who is this cute name on ship aboard?
I surely know this is not dangerous
my ever caring heart knows it is generous

confusing
this self-musing
since I am aboard on Poem Hunting

please help me, Lord
who is with Thee and me on Thy ship aboard?
i tell Thee once again
it is softened and tender
i am touched
by no means directed
but it touched
mine heart
despite the rough flow of the Rhine
perpetually gratefully Thine
for solving this emotive part....

Thank you so much for your cute comments, Muhammad. Is Lohojong a name of a river? What a name! Your visit is most appreciated. G.B.U in Abundance.

Travelling abroad you have gained many experiences and your poem hunting is of excellent quality. Our Lord ever gives you bless and he nourishes your outstanding creativity. For your goodness we ever pray. Sweet softening name ever motivates mind. You are wonder. You are soft and fragrant like Jasmine. You have nicely bloomed in Lord's garden. You are Wonder-Jasmine....10
