I Wish I Could Be

I wish I could be At a waterfall For hours I would - Listen to the sounds A peaceful sound I am feeling relaxe Placing my carry bag down For hours i stare Taking in the scene Then I settle down I prepare to create Some poetry Looking around me Many others here Have the same notion They are the poets Creating poetry here Oh I wish I could be By the waterfall To sit and enjoy The sound of the waterfall

This reminds me of my time spent at the seaside as a boy. I would sit for hours, listening to the sound of the waves, watching the seagulls, and enjoying the peace and tranquility. Sometimes I wish I was close to the seaside or wallfall.

Sounds beautiful to be looking at the waterfall. You are right, water is relaxing. For me the sea is my temple, but anywhere with water, river, lake...brings me a lot of peace. I really enjoyed this poem my friend. It's great. Have a wonderful afternoon Darlenexxxxx
