Ode to the River by Peter

Silky water, crisp and clear
reflecting your natural beauty

A gentle perpetual flow -
irresistible aroma of the wild

Days of freedom and joy
under infinite starry skies

Rafts dancing in shimmering waves
like butterflies in colorful gardens

Our playful laughter
echoes in canyons of light

I found you
when I found the heart
of the river.
