Shadows dancing where the waters run

By the river flowing to the waiting sea

But content we are, in the afternoon sun

To linger awhile, beneath the trees


Where the river flows through silent veils

In the sheltered forest her spirits rise

On hidden waters and forgotten trails

Beneath the shade of sacred skies

 

Hear the waters whisper

Where the mossy river flows

As woodland spirits wander

Beneath a silent repose

 

The river still sings

Beneath the woodland shade

In memories of yesterday’s song

Of a simple summers day

 

The breath of deep pause

On the river of peaceful rhyme

A gift of wisdom from mother earth

Reflections of sweet sublime

 

The river flows in the afternoon sun

Through the hidden forest fancy free

Without a care she sings her song

The living waters, content, to be

 

In the autumn woods

Watching the waters flow

Embracing the tranquility

Of the river below
