Notes About The Poem

On the Shore of the River

I close my eyes and listen to the river flowing
The water is low and the rocks are showing
Revealing my soul, while uncovering peace
I stand and I listen while I release…
Turbulent feelings that are caught like a stick
In the flowing river, here’s to thoughts I kick…
And with each kick, freedom finds me here
On the shore of the river, that is so near
