River

Sparkling water
meandering past like
grass swaying in the wind,
the sun watches you like a warming friend.
Surrounded by the moist leaves covering the ground,
the leaves swish back and forth,
as you merge into the water you feel the mossy,
slippery rocks under your feet.
It makes you calmer and calmer,
you lay back,
the current drags you down the river.
The river carries me gently like the slow breeze swaying in the trees.
The water feels comforting like laying on a fluffy blanket.
