Peace River

When my life
Is filled with grief
When I question
my belief

Peace River 
come to me
Flow from heaven 
set me free

From on high
to dark valley 
Crystal pure
a gift from Thee

Give me rest
from my toil
Nourish flowers
Feed parched soil

Peace River
sooth my eyes
A remedy
for earthly lies

Living water
brings me rest
A gift from God
that’s truly blessed.

Look into my eyes
There you will see
That river flows
inside of me.

The river of peace is within us. If we look intently, we can trace its source. By following its course, we can drink from this river. Your abidance in God is greatly appreciated. Stay blessed dear Richard.

Such a wonderful, tranquil read Richard. So well written and flows beautifully just like the river! Love the lines,’Flow from heaven, set me free’ ‘ Living water, brings me rest.’ Inspiring. So enjoyed it - like a meditation poem. Thank you for sharing my poetic friend and for leaving such a lovely comment on my page earlier. So kind. Blessings to you.

It's true that no one can take away our inner sense of peace, especially if the origin is divine. Well said Richard
