I walk along by My River,
The further I go
The more peaceful it becomes,
The more peaceful I become.
I come to that place
Where My River becomes My Spirit,
Where My River, My Spirit and I become one,
Where all is well,
And there is peace in my soul.
I know that that peace will always be there
Be there waiting for me,
Waiting until that time,
That time when I join My Spirit
And become one soul
Where the peace that I have found
Will be with me,
With me for eternity.

A lovely write Gold. Yes, we have some Rivers near-ish to us. I see them more maybe in Spring.
Meanwhile ( a 'said' verse):
'O land of endless peace
Where noise and turmoils cease
How did this tranquil peace bring?(i.e. come about)
'Tis easy - Orchi did not sing!' heehee.
Thanks Orchi, that Peace can be so wondrous.
I don't fancy River walks when it's blowing a gale, or snowy, or heavy rain. You might be OK. Will you still go in shirt-sleeves, whatever season? I would catch hypothermia or something if I did, unless June, and other Summer months, were flaming.
I read this as if my life depended on it for some reason.
What have you done Finch?!
Seriously though, it was a very good read.

Thank you for posting Finch, I enjoyed it!
Thank you for your wonderful reply Nicholas. The River Avon flows through my town and I used to walk along side of it many times a week but since my wife has come down with dementia I need to be with her all the time so I do not go down for my walks, but it is a place I will never forget and will go back to.
Really glad I came for a walk down your river as I lay down in this haz. May you continue these beautiful days!
Thank you Dan, you are welcome to walk with me anytime.
Hi Goldfinch60,
An enchanting poem.
I feel the power of peace flowing through its words.

Thank you fine be, may the Peace be always with you.
We have a small river flowing past our village - like you I find peace there away from everything where nature takes pride of place. A great write as always.i
Thank you Michael, the peace that comes when walking alongside the water and with is so profound.
