River stop,
River go,
Receiving bliss,
From the river’s flow,

The trickle of the stream,
A poet’s dream,
Progression that’s always moving,
The sound of the river, so very soothing,

Reflections of the sun,
Bouncing of its mirrored face,
River, Oh Sweet River,
Sending me to my happy place,

River stop,
River go,
Receiving bliss,
From the river’s flow,

With the trickle of kaleidoscopic dreams,
From the beginning to the end,
Life and death, but not as it seems,

With the reeds whistling on the wind,
And the clouds drifting high above,
The river’s flow,
Makes me fall in love,

River stop,
River go,
Receiving bliss,
From the rivers flow,

The trees that watch,
Looming over from their perch on the bank,
A coot bobbing for food,
Dinner at 5 and The River he thanks,

And as I sit here watching,
Briefly resting in my search for peace,
And I find it,
If only brief,

So River stop,
River flow,
Forever receiving bliss,
From the River’s Flow.
