Listen to poem:
The river brings hope
It washes away.
It's banks are the place
Where the quiet people stay.
It's life is eternal.
It twists, winds and shifts.
In torrents it falls.
In vapour it lifts.
As I sit and I listen..
A new song I hear.
Watch surface light glisten
Feel anxieties clear.
I bathe and I swim
And I laugh and I breathe
I commune with creation.
Tuning in;
To receive.
In the chill I'm reminded
Of life's warm embrace.
Of the gift we've been given.
Of our time in this place.
So, drink deep from the river.
Allow it to cleanse you,
Refresh and restore;
Make you whole
As it's meant to.
Ancient trees by the water
Nod and agree
There is no better time
For you and
for me.
And the truth of a life
Ever rested and pure
Is that someday your house
Will be built on that shore.
