Sunday River

Day 62
20 Mar 11

And finally away from the monitor screens and the mess
that the people make of the world. Out in the fields
(RIP Gary Moore) - where river water washes stress
away like fish over the weir, somewhere concealed
in the shadows of the trees was a quiet stillness.
You could almost drink it in: this feeling of calm;
the sound of planes high overhead bringing
memories of the past, sugary sweets in the palm
of a small boy's hand, and all of nature singing.
