So what is that flowing – in, through and round and about us but the confluent flow of love, in its austere bare beauty – as your poem so magnificently and beneficently pours forth – bringing all who read a blessing of spirit cleansing inundation?

I’ve read some other of Alima Sherman’s poetry and this poem, as well as others, is evocative, perceptive, personal and deeply heart-felt. She mines her inner experience and comes out with diamonds. Thank you.
