Ode to the Salmon River

As I sit in solitude by the water’s edge
The morning rays of sunshine dance across the ripples
The clouds above flow sluggishly by
as if waking up from a drowsy sleep.

As I sit in solitude by the water’s edge,
the sun rises higher in the morning sky.
The wind starts to whisper as it blows,
through the tress and over the glistening ripples
like a dance to a slow song.

 As I sit in solitude by the water’s edge,
the sun begins to droop on the peaks of the distant mountain tops.
Birds fly across the sunset sky in search of a resting place.
The sound of rushing water trumps the afternoon noise.

As I sit in solitude by the water’s edge,
the sun has now set for the night.
The only noise to be heard is the rushing
water over the rocky shore line.
The peacefulness of night has come,
as I sit in solitude by the water’s edge.

 

You are the wind and the trees,
the honey and the bees.
You are the moon
and the stars.
You are the apple,
and the eye.

However, you are not angry,

Sad,
or sorrowful
And you are certainly not vengeful.
There is just no way that you are vengeful.

It is possible that you are calm,
maybe even caring,
but you are not even close
to being ruthless.

And a quick look in the mirror will show
that you are neither careless
nor reckless.

It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
that I am the light on the moon.

I also happen to be the glow in the night,
the sun rise shine
and the smile in your morning.

I am also the laughter in the day

and the comfort at night .
But don't worry, I'm not the moon and the stars.
You are still the moon and the stars.
You will always be the moon and the stars,
not to mention the honey and--somehow—the bees.
