Message to My River.

Goldfinch60



I needed to go to My River.

There it was flowing silently,

Silently by my side.

All was fine within me

As I walked with its gentle flow.

The swans glided passed me,

Each looked at me

As if to greet me

As they sailed slowly,

Sailed seemingly without a care.

I too glided with them

As My River took my worries away,

All was right with my world.

I sat on a bench and watched,

Watched the water move forward,

Move forward with My Spirit.

As I sat there I spoke,

I had a message for My River,

The reason I needed to be there,

“Hello My River,

Rich asked me to tell you,

Hello”

      Rivers meandering & flowing
      Down to the Sea & Oceans
      Are the VEINS & ARTERIES
      Of GODS life giving Water Cycle - AMEN

      GOOD MORNING - Uncle Andy (8pm Wed here in NZ !) Love the AFRO JAZZ very lively ! Love Rivers & love the Poem. I admire them because (unlike us working folk) they flow at their own rate and surmount all obstacles. It is only (like Humans) when the break their Banks that they become dangerous ! Thanks for sharing !

        Of NATURE'S life giving Water Cycle

        Rivers are so wonderful and can show all emotions.

        Hard to find a meaningful way to say heartfelt thank you for this.

        Thank you Andy.

        A river flows for us all, through us all, comforting as it teaches.

            The feel of being beside a flowing river cannot be beaten - water on the move oozes a kind of magic to poets whose imagination has free reign by whispering water....... well written my friend.

            • Goldfinch60

              So very true Fay, there is something about rivers (and sea) that can move us into words. Thank you for your kind comments.

              Isn’t it amazing how water washes all clean and softens any hardened areas ...I love water it’s my therapy ..I spend many hours in a long hot bath resting meditation breathing just being ..I should have been a mermaid...your river is a beautiful place and how I love to watch the swans in the water in Chelmsford the tranquility takes you to another place ...still waters running deep...wonderful 🌹

              • Goldfinch60

                Thank you Thoughts. I have been writing about My River ( The Avon) for many years and I am often walking or just sitting by it knowing that as I am with My River all is well.

                • Thoughts In Time

                  All is and shall be well 🌹pleasure...
