River Peace

Pools of water sparkle in the sun
Rays of light having fun
The buzz of life is all around
A dragon fly passes by
Wings flapping how great that sound

The grasses whisper in the wind
As bee’s flirt with their nectar
Butterflies gentle flutter by
Dancing on the flowers like my mind

Splash a sound disturbs the peace
A fish  catching food, catches the sun
My thoughts drawn to his  domaine 
Life in the river  my thoughts insane

I cast my line across the river
It floats down stream as silent as the night
This ancient windy river 
it’s prize  of fish it fails to deliver. 

Peace is what I collect
Even with an empty net

Rays of light from everywhere
The gentle wind I can bear. 
The sounds of nature in my head 
Recharges my soul for times ahead.
