I walk beside My river,
The slow deep green of its water
Flows by my side in harmony,
In harmony with my thoughts.
Those thoughts get deeper
The further I walk into the countryside,
Until I am lost in a world of nature,
Where all is well
And the troubles in my life disappear.
A swan sails by my side
His eyes looking at me,
Understanding my thinking.
We move together,
Our minds locked in natures wonder.
He leaves me and slides calmly off
Into his world,
Leaving me with mine.
My River flows ahead of me,
My Spirit flowing with it.
I know that My River
And My Spirit
Will go on to eternity.
So, in spite of my troubles,
I know that all is well,
All is well in My World.
