Serenity

serenity while on a stream
floating through a meadow green
fields of reeds sway all around
in a breeze, a gentle sound

mind caressed and undisturbed
now troubled thoughts seem so absurd
with white clouds drifting overhead
Sun on skin enjoyed instead...

meandering slowly everywhere
the river flows, without a care
without the weight of what before
seemed to always be much more -

breathing in and out the air
dappled sunlight everywhere
under willows weeping near
the river flowing on which we're

on our backs while on a raft
believing that the stream's slow path
will take us to the place we go
where together we'll always know

serenity, while on a stream
watching sunlight's bouncing beams
reflecting back to outer space
on a day we do not waste...
