Soothe Me

down by the river
my soul is raging and wild
I am untamed and pure
refusing to be defiled
      down by the stream
      my heart is calm and serene
      I'm drifting in a dream
      taking in the beautiful scene
down by the pond
my mind is quiet and still
and I am quite fond 
of nature's power to soothe and heal
