Once more I strolled by My River;
The stillness surrounding me.
My River flowed silently beside me,
Not a ripple to be seen,
Even the swan’s wake was almost still.
This silence enveloped me
Until I was at one with nature.
My thoughts meandered through this miasma
In which I was enthralled.
Why cannot all find this peace,
This peace of coming together,
Without rancour, without war, without killing,
Just live with each other in harmony .
Why do some people need to fight,
Need to impose their wills on others.
Why can’t life be as smooth as My River
As it flows at my side and through my life.
It is only a dream,
But I can escape it for a while,
As I walk with My River,
With My Spirit.
