The Sun Is Shining On Me Again

I sat on a giant cemented rock in the river bed And the sun shines through the trees all over my head I could feel the warmth and comfort covering me while I listen to the tranquil water flowing in the river Nobody was trailing me and nobody was bothering me I felt energetic and strong that I could lift a gigantic rock and crumble it all at once in my powerful hands A few hours ago I was sailing up and down the river looking for a quiet place to anchor but everywhere I steer my boat the water was up to my throat But today the water has recede and I can finally proceed Sometimes it is difficult to understand the things in nature Everything happen so fast that sometimes you have to wonder I spread out on the solid rock gazing at the clear blue sky with the trees dodging the sun as it glared into my meticulous eyes I started thinking about the rocks many things have transpired in nature centuries before I was born. I started observing all the rocks around the river And I saw something interesting that made me shiver A flat rock hangs over the river bed and it runs beneath a twin tree fastened on the river bank I kept moving from rock to rock as my curiosity grew bigger I came to this place to relax but I find myself gathering facts I have crossed this river more that three times but I have never seen something so clear and divine As I was walking on the rock the gods draw my attention to the road that leads across the river I rolled up pants and walked back and forth on the stones The water had dwindled and the rocks were dry on the top Suddenly a still small voice said count the stones I start jumping playfully as a child while counting the stones Thirteen of them lined up in a row then another voice said look on top of the stones and tell me what you see I bend down and examined the stones and there were Five creases on each of the thirteen stones and I started to wonder deeply about what I have already known I continue walking on the stones and deep speaks to deep Another mystery unfold before my journey was complete The same road that runs across the river had a big letter W carved on it with water running over it The answers are plain as day there will be no peace until history takes it rightful place. The sun is shining on me again W.W.W
