Sitting By the Riverside

I walk down a trail off the beaten path Contemplating life’s equations, trying to solve its math I sit down by the riverside, the breeze blowing through my hair I find rest on a slab of stone, using it as a chair I sit alone in the woods and start to think out loud Sitting and admiring the woods, the sun, the clouds I sit and question everything from life, to religion, and love Searching hard for answers as I stare at the sky above Time didn’t seem to move and only did stand still Focusing on breathing, breathe out and then refill It was in this moment, I found an epiphany The answers run few and the questions run many And you may never answer all the questions you may have But having a sense of purpose, this confusion it will salve Having mine, peace is now the place where I reside I found my peace on that day, sitting by the riverside
