The Sea And The River Poem by Barry Middleton

I'm not far from the river of life
I'm not far from the sea

I'll ride as far as the river may go
and wherever the sea leads me

where turquoise turns to navy blue
I'll soar where seagulls fly

as dolphin leap in the foam and breach
in a comforting lullaby

a foot on the soil and one in the waters
that's the way I always have been

I am never alone and not far from home
the world is my next of kin

one day I'll find where waters must go
one day I know I will see

a place love abides to hold me secure
with a sea and a river for me
