Photo and poem by ArtServe member Rachel Gallehawk who was inspired by the cross and a lifesaver float by a lake at an ArtServe Festival venue one year.
Life-Saver
Saviour,
Rescuer,
Lover
of my soul
Steadfast,
bound to me
Even
in the deepest shadows
Of
the turbulent waters
Of
human tragedy and devious design
A
sign of your presence
To
cling to
Always,
ever present
In
the ordinary
Both
seen and unseen.
