The River

Flowing gently, the river sings, A lullaby, soft and sweet; It weaves through banks like silken strings, In nature’s arms, the heart finds beat.

With every turn, a story told, Of whispers shared beneath the trees; Of dreams set free, of love unfolds, In liquid light, the soul’s release.

So listen close, the waters flow, Their wisdom speaks to hearts awake; In every drop, life’s undertow, A river’s song, in peace we take.
