I know the secrets of the river, as it rushes to the sea coming down from highest mountains sprinkling rainbows over me Soft and low, it burbles to me telling songs of journeying joy it has in ever moving from its source, down to the sea I listen and the river tells me all the secrets of its home this the song I hear in passing. Where it wanders, how it roams. All the stories that it tells me as I sit and hear the song I see the river moving swiftly and wonder, as it moves along All the debris of the ages carried down from high above here, are cleansed and washed in shining rainbows cloud, the gift of love As the river rushes onwards things are lost within the deeps hidden by the moving river and the secrets that it keeps Yet, I know the river's secret caught in passing, nothing stays and by magic, goes this moment time moves on replaced by days. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

(smiles) Oh my gosh, this reminds me so much of the tale of Siddhartha, sweet friend, how the river fishman told him to listen carefully and watch the river and he heard the word of Ohm from the waters, which enlightened him! (kiss on cheek) I love the beauty of this, sweet friend, may nature always soothe you with her majesty, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kethry, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
