The River

The river is calling my name, and I want to answer its name, The river is so calm, I sit down in the sand, waiting for the eagle to soar by, The river is my cathedral, I need to be still, the wind is so tame. The river is my friend, the trees are my shelter, I wish to surround myself with its beauty and blissful sounds, I feel the silent cries, my tears are coming, I wish to leave them in the rivers tides, For no longer do I care to be around, I am where I belong, please carry me away, The river is my place to get away, my fears, my worries, have carried me here, TO TAKE me away, and say goodbye..
