RIVER DREAMS ©Ricki E. Bellos In dark and ancient waters She gathers fireflies Paints poetry on a liquid sky Dressed in indigo and blue She wanders without care Stardust catching in her midnight hair Sleep arrives as night descends Day fades into memory River of life flow deep Crazy River wild Watch River dream away Just like today Waiting for the storm to come Patiently with no fear Distant thunder drawing near She murmurs low in total bliss All the world is washed clean She sighs it’s just a lovely dream Sleep recedes as day arises Night fades into memory River of life flow deep Crazy River wild Watch River dream away Just like yesterday In ancient waters A life force breathes As time flows by River dreams
