Traveling Down River

Traveling Down River…

Traveling down river

Life is a river

Traveling through 

Life's water's

Scenery events 

Change

Constant flowing life

River rests 

Abiding 

Gentle seas 

Without end 

Is my life the same? 

Dissolving into minds

Ocean

Does my glow to life 

Or do my waters run dry?

Maybe I become a desert

Or perhaps the moon

Springs Healing *** I’m down and I’m low You won’t let me know What you’re really feeling I opened up my heart As I did from the start Now I think you’re leaving You say it’s not the end That I am your true friend Yet I know your lying So why don’t you just go Before the winter snow I can taste this dying I don’t want your blood Or the coming flood Of the tears you’re crying Because only in our end Will our hearts mend And wake up in springs healing *** David Penn Arndt 2022 *** Artwork Cynthia Re Robbins

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands

Lead me gently to your enchanted lands 🕊️ Oh in our dreams how we hold each other close I whisper in your ear of all the women in the world It's you I love most. A woman like you I believe it not possible, It could not be, but then I found myself drowning, so joyfully, blissfully within your inner seas I fell upon my knees It's you babe In all in every way I wish to please My love's real baby It's not something That will vanish Disappear Leave Blowing out Space and time Loves pure Holding each other Verse meter rhyme Would you take my hand Lead me to your me Enchanted Promised Land Because then my dear How vast My love For you abides You would fully Completely Understand 🕊️ David Arndt  Sirens Of Titan  Down on the Horizon  Line (c) 2022 🌹 Gustav Klimt
