The Riverside Solitude
As I sat on the plank
All alone at the riverbank
I listened to the birds chirp
Flapping their wings as they fly
Like armies, they formed lines in the sky
As I enjoyed my solitude
With my feet in the flowing water
I couldn’t help but wonder
If the trees loved the cool breeze as I did
For it brought life to everything
As I took a walk around
I loved the sound of the leaves under my feet
And for a while we made music
I looked at the glowing rock
Under the heat of the sun
It was bright and beautiful
And for that moment, everything was still
And all that mattered was the beauty of nature
