River air
Spiced by the mud and the
nameless plants;
Green ranks meet brown banks
Where the midges dance.
Quiet, strong river
Raging silent, the silt-slicked flow,
Sun-warmed above,
Shadow-chilled below.
Bring me peace;
These turbulent times have hurt my soul.
I rest my pain in your nature's arms
Rock me to sleep
Restore my flow.
