Listening to the river

Sounds of silence
dance on the air
a little childhood song
traversed a memory
I let the words
floating by

Underneath a willow
the dawned grass
a trusted pillow
I see the years
running by

At ease, Newtonian laws
hold me on this place
to feel my heart at pace
and all of my faults
just drift away

And the river
the river, my friend
it's on stand-by
let me feel the drops
let me feel the life
of the endless stream
time and distance vanish
listening to the river ...

High above me, His Majesty
does a falcon fly
unleashed the relaxation
done the excavation
it's all meaningless now
the why's, the who's and how come's
they all just passed by

Around the river bend, quietly
the ducks paddle by
A heron wings up to
a profound blue sky
and all of life surrounds the fields
it all slowly, o so slowly crawls by

And the river
the river, my friend
it's on stand-by
let me feel the drops
let me feel the life
of the endless stream
time and distance vanish
listening to the river ...
