The River That Sings

Living amidst the busy city life
I sometimes imagine myself
walking along the bank of the river that sings

Nature at its best
Beauty displayed at the fullest
The ruffling sound of dried leaves under my feet
giving music for the river that sings

The sun about to kiss the horizon
The sky and the earth embraced together as one
The joy of togetherness depicted in the song
that the river sings

I want to be part of the imagination
Walk into it as if it is real
Peace surrounding me
The breeze caressing me
I want to play my guitar
And sing the chorus lines
With the river that sings
