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.
