Down By The Riverside

The sun slowly dripped off the sky.

He needed a break from his usual life

so he went down to the riverside.

His perfect home.

He heard the beautiful flowing of the river centring his thoughts.

With the rustling of animals hiding in fallen leaves.

He sat on a fallen hillside rock

down on the riverbank and relaxed,

feeling calmer than ever before within the silent forest.

Ancient giants standing tall, guarding reality.

River water slowing drifting down,

colliding with rocks which swirled and twisted.

He tasted the fresh air, zoned out and took a well deserved break.

He felt the wet mossiness of the rock.

He put his feet in the cold, glistening water.

Feeling connected to the relaxed environment,

he was home. The leaves blew trying to break free from the branch.

The zen feeling freed his mind.

He was reset, he had found himself.

Nothing could ever compare to the feeling of being there.

The calmest, most peaceful place in the whole world.

He felt like he could stay here forever.
