Asleep in a boat
I lie side by side with it:
the River of Heaven

    This poem really captured the beauty of nature for me. I especially loved the image of lying side by side with the River of Heaven - it made me feel so connected to the world around me. Short but sweet, it put a smile on my face today!

      Interesting thoughts captured in this piece. It's short but there's so much in there. Can anyone explain what exactly 'the River of Heaven' refers to here? Quite perplexed indeed.
