Nathanael O'Reilly #18 Holy Ghost

Holy Ghost

Follow Holy Ghost Creek
higher towards its source

cross the creek on fallen logs
follow the path that guides you

keep the water on your right
and the mountain on your left

teach your daughter to make
stones walk on the water

    Precious moments with life lessons - reads seamlessly. Thanks also for memories.

      Thanks, Lizz. My daughter succeeded at skipping stones for the first time, so it was pretty special.

    I couldn't help but hear Allan Ginsberg's Holy in the background... !

      I think that's the first time my work has ever reminded anyone of Ginsberg, but I'll take it as a compliment!
