Divinity Angels Brooklyn NSW Hawkesbury River

I am the running spring in the mountains a red child

a toddler when I join another creek orange meeting

I develop waves, so am bigger on the slopes and faster- my yellow growth

a lad

a teenager when I am joining many creeks- getting green love

At Spencer I am a young Adult and I start singing with my light blue waves

Do I hear marriage vows from Mangrove mountain- an indigo blue proposal

And at Brooklyn I am navy blue wise a pink dance a golden thinker

a purple adult

art by Hawkesbury river artists Juno Gemes, Dave Coliins

and you may see me in gold white and black

This is Hawkesbury river talking

Artists on my banks write of birds

take pics of activists

intermarry and run the best snackshops in the world

fathers buy Pubs for sons to succeed

The sons work their guts out

Irish second hand book shops come and go

Designer plates come and go

The oyster shells remaim

impression

Why do you feel the whiteness of peace when you are near me

I am a goddess

You will find me in all running water including the one coming out of your tap- why you feel relaxed after a shower

You crave me in the hard cement of the city

If every street in a city in the world had a fountain

You will find me

But first come and sit by me in silence

I am The Hawkesbury RIver
