A Spot Down By the River

I found myself a spot, down by the river Where I could change direction of thoughts that flow Maybe it wouldn’t be so rough and I would just rest With the soothing hum of the water’s movement Nature’s gentle hands would hold me close With each simple breath, I would find more to believe in - A breath of hope - - A breath of confidence - - A breath of strength - Breathing with the breeze, grounded on the shore I found my spot in solitude, down by the river - Where nothing could soothe me more - Heidi Sands 8/2/18

I love this Heidi, I have been there many times. Solitude by a river or stream is most rewarding (especially if I have my fishing pole...lol) Charlie
