Moonlight and a River Thought

Moonlight and A River Thought A walk down by the river to settle a worrisome thought crazy , mixed up mind battles far too many fought The river's passing with its soothing smooth flowing sound brings images of angels dancing to the trumpet's sound Rage not against fate's dark hand nor its unyielding wall pray for abundant life, pray for gentle mercies on us all Swift waters flowing in soft, soothing serenity reminding of Time and perhaps even another Eternity Moonlight upon waters each glimmering with rippled swirl reminding of life's sweet love of a beautiful girl Echoing splashes of fish jumping out into the sky enjoying a bit of Nature's treasure, not asking why A river thought, stored in the mind's deep treasure vault Place and time, life's dream in which tis blessed to be caught Robert J. Lindley
