River murmurs

At River's edge Eagle's cry

fades into the Wind

Stone and Rock sit idly by

Tree sways in the rising Storm

River's waters crash by and by

and I

            at River's edge watch Nature's form.

At River's edge, Nature's silence

brings Peace

Cloud and Sky roll wistfully by

Wind falls and sobs through the Trees

River's waters murmur Why

and I

            at River's edge answer - to be free.

(I had made note of when I wrote this.  I was 21. I am not sure why I like it enough to put it out here. Anyways, it came to mind with the river photos I just posted, but didn't quite seem to have the same feel such that they could be posted together.)
