Riverside

Down by the riverside is where I like to sit

and watch the wind blow through

the long grass that grows at the edge of the sand.

Boats come & go on this mighty river.

Day & night,  carrying precious cargo.

Transporting goods to & from far away lands.

Such a peaceful yet powerful & majestic phenomenon

this river of life.

Fish swim in it…

Birds dive into it…

Logs drift along it, lazily in the afternoon sun.

Each day without question the tide rises & falls

just as the sun also rises & sets over the banks

of this tireless waterway, this river of life.
