Sitting here on a bench by a peaceful river shore
There sails a sailboat barely seen in the misty haze
And rising in the distance is the sun's early light
The only sound I hear is the soft current's wave.
A feeling of quiet peace now joyfully surrounds me
As the horizon in the distance clearly now is seen
The beauty of the landscape is a sight to behold
And the air around me smells refreshing and clean.
The sounds of birds and families now can be heard
As the sun is rising high above the daylight sky
I listen to the sounds of life saying not a word
But feeling just a little sad as time is flying by.
The time has come for me to leave the river shore
And the park bench that I sit on every early morn
And I now am feeling sad as time swiftly flies by
Yet happy knowing I'll be back again at dawn.

Thought For The Day
That's about it for now and until next time dear family and friends have a day of blessings.
Beautiful poem and I can just see it in my mind. Yes, we hear a lot when we are quiet. :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and Amen to your last thought. smiles
ReplyDeleteOh yes, this is what I feel every time I go to the little lake near our house and just sit. I could sit there for hours if my body would let me. So peaceful. A time to just sit and LISTEN for God's voice, and to see His beauty all around. LOVE this, Toni. Thank you.
