River Walk

-RIVER WALK--
by Miss Caroline

I am walking 'long the River
Feel the pebbles 'neath my feet
Listening to the water
And the Rivers' rythmic beat

See the Hills beyond the water
Tall and green beyond the shore,
Watch the Tugboats pushing treasures
Leaving me still wanting more.

Stick my feet into the waters
Feel the sand shift 'neath my toes
Feel the water rushing 'round them
Feel it wash away my woes.

Watch the clouds just floating calmly
O'er this Valley, Oh, so wide
Filling my soul with it's goodness
The worst of life to hide.

Feel the breeze that whispers softly
Gentle sounds that comfort me
And watch the willows waving
As they dance, in wind, with glee.

The trees are bending gently
Dropping branches down to drink
All the gentle sounds surround me
To help me, now, to think.

Just walking near the water
Where this shore goes on and on
All the thoughts and dreams are dancing,
No longer this lifes pawn.

For soon the daylights dimming
And around to home I turned,
Filled with a peace inside me
For that Peace that I have yearned

And a calmness is decending
As the Sun does touch the land
For We are now returning....
God and I, here, hand in hand.

Hello MsCaroline. Welcome to Christian Creative Writers. I'm so glad you've joined us. What a beautiful piece of work. You had me floating on a cloud. There are a lot of well thought out descriptions here, and you created a sense of peace throughout the piece very nicely. Love it.

Kind of singing it to myself as I read your beautiful poem. So glad to meet you.

So glad you all like this poem. It was written a few years ago, as I have alzeheimers and do not write as much anymore. Hope I can post a few more when I feel OK.

Absolutely beautiful! No doubt.

I hope you can post a few more too. I love your work. The Lord surely has blessed you with a gift. May the Lord bless you and keep you.
