I remember when you were my River
Meandering lost waters through my forest scene
Until that moment, raindrops had always been enough
To keep the leaves hanging quietly through my dream
It was as though my unfathomable forest
Was a destination never seen
I remember how you would enjoy the canvases
As each day your waters delivered warm floods
It felt as though those daydreams
We're no more for the graveyard of muds
Your waters were warm and inviting
The forest grew fast and vibrant and full
Oh I remember the days I bathed in your waters!
How you would enrich and nourish my soul
I truly believed in your presence
You would erase all the lost years gone before
I had never considered my forest could be home to a river!
So forgive me as I never let go
Now is not the time to remember right or wrong
Just grant me my soft lament of a river gone
I spread my forest across land and sea
Reaching for what you awoke in me
But in my land is only drought
Oh river come home! No more Cast me out!

A fine write Sylvia.
Thanks for taking the time to read 😊
A write to make readers want more of this warm and inviting stream of clear water - the river of dreams will stay with me dear Sylvia and thank you for sharing it.
Oh yes the river. I like that idea of it being a river of dreams 😊
