The river looks beautiful tonight:

Flat, vitreous, unhurried.

Ripples burst, swell and fade,

Passing under new-laden willow.

When the time comes, as it must,

May it be an evening such as this.

Outside by our river last night it was also calm balmy and so relaxing. I woke up to clouds and wind for the few next days. (hence the silly poem) smiley

Beautiful, concise poem! I hope the same situation wished for at conclusion is a long way off. I have a river walk too, colder times yes, otherwise midges and mosquitoes unless covered in stinking jungle oil!
You're a lucky man! Congrats on the gold cherries too, well deserved!

Hi Gothicman. Thanks. Yes, it's lovely to be able to access these things just now. Water is such an important aspect of our lives. It's also the source of one of my greatest headaches just now. We are water, I suppose. I've been smothered in that stuff myself a few times. And Deet. It has an awful feel to it. Better than mozzie bites though. Thanks again. Very grateful.
