Distant chatter soon faded
Feet pace towards the river
Slight rustle of grass against the leg
Soon by the rivers edge
The world was almost silent
Just the flow of the river to hear
Calm and settling as it went by
The sun brought out the natural colours
Green reflected off the settled water
As we walked further along the river side
Peace by the river
Gave me time away from the normal thoughts
Walking with a loved one
There was no burden from the world
If it wasn't for time
(& weary legs)
The flow of the river
Would’ve been followed further
Next time we’ll walk
A little more
To find, enjoy
Peace by the river.
