waterfall lace
covering the rocks below
unsure of destination or homes only rented
suddenly abandoned
moving on
coursing through etched river roads
water falling offers eternal ethereal sounds
pushing and sliding filling every space
the rush of a quiet sweet heart
memory taken over in hopeful peace
the call of the wild
forgotten for awhile
believe me
troubles follow me
burdened by this world
I pack up a two person tent
I launch a two seated canoe
repeating to myself
love waits
but I find only sandy shores
the call of earth and water
sky winds speak to me
eternal calls
I remember to return here
grounding my spirit and soul ~

Brian, Thank sounds so wonderful! I sit many times and wish I was younger and in better health so I could now do that — I do have many good memories of camping out by water. I am drawn to the water.
Thank you for taking time to read and comment.
Have a great weekend too!

As I grow older, I like the quietude and perfect peace of silence in nature and you captured it here.
