To sit and listen with the
river...

As a breeze whispers secrets
through the grass.

And birds sing nothing to the air but
the carried flight of their
expansion.

The river moves in stillness.

While I sit in the quiet motion of
my thoughts -

Listening with the river.

When I read words that take me away this cubicle, I treasure them. *S*

Whether river or stream or ocean... I never tire of listening. *S* Beautiful work!!

I want to be there, do that....you make it such an inviting prospect, with so few words. Well done.

I too will listen, for much wisdom is spoken in its quiet voice.

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

Eric,
   I admire how you are so in tune to silence and to the nature around us.  Your writing is a highlight of my reading.

And in this
colorful, silent
motion of thoughts
we read
each other,
the river,
the birds,
life
in all its shades
and divine
contents.
This "sit in"
is all we need
to know
the secrets
which allow
our wings
to spread ...

.... taking off with you, dear Eric. You are such a wonderful listener and always bring back such treasures. My heart deeply appreciates the peace your words emanate.
I love you.
Margherita

Ericc

what a peaceful scene to get lost in....

I don’t want the world to see me
cause I don’t think that they’d understand
When everything’s made to be broken I just want you to know who I am
