Serene

This is How I Remember It

Standing adrift in thought

Watching the serene river as it gently brushes the shore

Watching the peaceful undisturbed surface

Undisturbed until a small family of ducks float by

-

Tasting the moist air on my tongue

Feeling the gentle breeze ruffle my hair

Smelling the fragrant aroma of plant life

Hearing the soft chat of birds

Experiencing the wonderful life of the river

and all that inhabits it
