The River


Water over crashing rocks,

my troubling thoughts won't soon be forgot. 

Thoughts in my head buzz like bees,

for a moments rest is all I plea. 

For time to stop and trouble to fade,

there's nothing that I wouldn't trade. 

The water is cool- it calms nerves, 

I finally get what I deserve.

As my troubling world fades to black, 

my last breath is spent on a laugh.
