Holy Water
In search of holy,
I mixed essence of rose
and moonlight,
purchased a bit
of Galilee, Fatima,
and Lourdes.
My priest salted and blessed
crystal jar of tap water,
instructed "sprinkle sparsely."
Travelled to Bolivia,
danced upon reflected calm
of Salar de Uyuni -
finally found a cleansing
of prayer, faith,
and devotion.

Cleansing of prayer...such perfect closing to this fine write.
How brilliantly imaginative of you to see this as a source of holy water - perfect!
I imagine if one where actually there, these are the sorts of things that would seem natural--finding holiness in the simple reality, and speaking in prayer to the sky-mirror. Lovely, Margaret.
you've really embodied the essence of love beautifully !
