It ripples and it shines
easing tensions and releasing angst,
a life giving force
a balance between mind, body and soul.
The sight of it soothes the soul
a caress of nature when dark takes hold,
reflections cast mesmorising light
to contemplate life in brilliance.
Drown in it if worries take hold
but stay afloat and feel empowered.
Think and say words of peace
and at waters edge be one with nature
and with ourselves.
Like the river of life
the currents ebb and flow,
through good days and bad
not releasing its hold.
And the bird soars over and the pelican glides
as worries pass over and tensions subside,
whilst life trickles on.
It cleanses and washes away regrets,
smooths new beginnings.
Precious life, precious water
abundant with love
and harmony.
