Clear River

The river flows wide clear as glass
fish swim the bottom seem at grasp
Fresh is the mist that splash
on rocks within its stream.

Green her banks lush foliage of flowering plants
with gentle breeze they sway and dance
Frogs dive in and ripples enhance
as their hind legs wave goodbye.

Turtles show only their heads
ducks float over fed
A deer cautiously drinks startle fled
the river flows down stream.

Water fowl and woodland beast
as the river flows nature feasts
in rhythm of her waves feels peace
as evening shades into the rivers lullaby.
