(from 1995)
.
We are white-water
exploding
through canyons
uprooting old moss
as we break
toward the cliff.
We’ll have no
fear of falling
when we reach
the edge
and God will paint bows
in our mist.
.
(c) 2013, 1995 Betty Hayes Albright
Just love the positive tone and strength reflected in the poem.
