I guess I'd be there still

8 1 0
                                    

I'm in the back of forward, and the front of backward,

A place where the weeds in the water grow still;

Where the wind among the leaves and the leaves below the sky

Are unbothered.

I feel at home here, sitting by the water, Where no one else is

And there is not even the whisper of a house.

I'm alone.

A place to sit and think thoughts of peace and silence

While the rushing stream goes on.

A place I don't think will ever change its mien.

Time stills.

Being away from human noise and busyness to escape

To where I am

Listening to the sweeter sounds of nature's lives

Living on.

And if time didn't have to keep moving on

I guess I'd be there still

Listening.

Not interrupting.

Forever.
