A river flowing peacefully; <br />vibrant, splendid tranquility. <br />Past fields and villages so quaint. <br />Canopies boast endless leaves, <br />mighty boulders; <br />the water heaves. <br />Lovely scenes just waiting for paint. <br />When at last Its long journey ends, <br />and to the ocean it now sends, <br />liquid blending together faint. <br /> <br />Like a river, so flows my life, <br />Distant memories growing faint <br />of laughter, tears, circumstances, <br />mourning, and romantic dances. <br />Murals of my days wait for paint. <br />My journey down this river long <br />has been like a favorite song; <br />wonderful, simple and so quaint..........<br /><br />Mahfooz Ali<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/river-of-reflection/
