Down in a valley

Down in a valley
is a river
that's flowing free

I hear it calling
this river
calling to me

Join in my passage
past the banks
of the tall oak trees
past towns and cities

Run now and run free
down to the ocean
to a doorway
to destiny

Born for the river
my heart is telling me
so goes this dreamer
oh so willingly

Follow the bends there
places you never see
once past forever
on my way to the briny sea.

it started a virtual radio in my head, so many songs about rivers, i got confused! it's heartwarming, this piece. thanks serpico. and i will leave you with lyrics from one of my favorite r.e.m. songs:
Pick up here and chase the ride
The river empties to the tide
All of this is coming your way

My soul is a river
It never stops it never ends
i seek for love forever
I seek for love that stands.
My soul is a river
It dreams, it hopes, it feels,
My soul is a river that has no sides
Just streams..

Nice poem..bouquet
