Take me to the River

“Take me to the River” - a 10” x 13” vertical original watercolour painting.

There are so many places in the world that just feel safe. A personal sanctuary from the storm, quite literally in the storm.

For me, this has always been at the waters edge. No matter if it’s a river, lake, or ocean, I’ve always felt peace and tranquility near the water, during the storm.

The storm of uncertainty that we are all experiencing right now during this pandemic. Safe together. Safe apart. Near the waters edge.

All of titles in this collection are inspired by this poem:

“Take me to the river

Take me to the sea

Cover me in empathy

Cover me in peace

Drown me in your sorrow

Find in thee relief

Bless me with tranquility

Find in me belief

Rise up in the swell

Calm and sweet

Serene and translucent

Ripple and repeat

Follow me

The waters edge

Watch for disbelief

Shelter from the storm

Sweet and peace; relief

Beauty in the beginning

Found from the deep”
