Along Our River we walked
And there swimming towards us
Came many swans in a line,
Swimming towards us,
Swimming against the flow,
Against the flow of the water,
In absolute peace and calmness,
So beautiful to see.
And the thought came to me
Why cannot our world be like this,
Be peaceful and calm
So that we all get on,
All get on and enjoy our lives,
Without the horror,
The horror in our world,
Our world we have at this time.

A lovely write Gold.
Yet in the seas - if not the rivers - there are sharks too, and other dangerous animals.
It's mankind that messes things up - fightings, wars, etrc.
Thank you Orchi, yes there are but they do not spread hatred like mankind does.

That's true Gold. I suppose in Nature there are horrible things too, though some creatures have to hunt their prey to feed.
Beautiful reflection dear Andy. And beautiful imagery. Reminds me of home. 🌹
So kind Teddy, thank you.

Nice writing ) I was sitting by a lake yesterday , so relaxing . Lot of ducks sitting by the lake , also pigeons
Sitting by water and seeing Natures glory is wonderful Caring dove.

Peace is inside us Gold it is the point of our focus it is the swans. Lovely write and I feel the pain of the outside world.
Very true soren, may that peace within us move out to the world.
Andy

You're welcome
Perfection! Me loves. This trips along gently gaining a bit of speed, but like the music accompanying it, is grandly set in soft sweetness, the tinge of bittersweet adding to its appeal. Thank you.
Most kind CM, thank you very much for your kind words.
