Crocodile River

What you desire is on the other side of the Crocodile River.
You've no float and smashed all your bridges.
If you really want it, dip right in, take your chances.

What you need is often on the same side.
A heartbeat away.
Just bring a bag of good intentions.
Miracles grow as easily as flowers in spring green Glenn.
Peace here is rooted deeply in simplicity.
Being grateful and lending a hand to your fellow man.
Honest conversations with a couple of friends.
Following the path of a righteous man. 

Just above the midnight shimmer.
I see that you've entered the red-eyed, crocodile river.

Hello Anthony, I loved how you expressed the challenges of life with some very good layering of meaning. We are all driven by our desires and seek contentment through simplicity and gratitude. Peace is the keyword. I enjoyed reading it! – Blessings, Daniel
