The River and Me...
When I am on the river
There I find myself --
It is there I find the peace
That I seek from day to day --
When I am on the river
There I find moments
Alone with my thoughts
As the river and I become one
On my way --
Challenges inspire me
Within rushing waters --
It is there I seek the depth of my soul --
It is there fulfillment I come to know --
Some will never know
What the river and I share --
They will never understand
What the water and wind
Bring to my soul there --
Yes there is solitude
As I roam the waters
That make their way
Over rocks and solid mass
Made of sand and clay…
It is on the river
That I find fulfillment
On this side of eternity --
It is here I find for certain
Most of all that I am free…©
