I bend over to touch her face
It feels as soft as paper
As simple as water
As complex as a nest
All twirls and swirls
And broken branches
We are enjoying our time at
The river village
Time flows
Like a gentle current
No more needles
Or hammers
We have taken our medicine
And feel more alive
It is humbling
To stand by the water
It sings a tune
We understand
Tiny drops
And big splashes
We let the mist cool
Our face
For this one moment
We are ok
No need to think about tomorrow
Or the next day
Or the next
Time stands still at
The river village
We feel at home there
Peaceful and quiet
Soft as rolling water
Ready to sleep
And dream.
It is always peaceful and lovely at the water's edge. I love your descriptions of the broken branches....and your lovely closing lines.
