At the river’s edge I’m dreaming
Fixed in silent reverie
Gazing into crystal waters
Rippling out to capture me
Shall I walk into its shallows
Slip into its icy deeps
Feel it lapping all around me
Linger where Poseidon sleeps
Deeper, deeper thus immersing
Into regions yet unknown
Where the river meets the ocean
Where all fantasies are sewn
I am falling, falling, falling
Further into time long past
Touching ancient worlds of wonder
Where all memories are cast
Let me carry you there with me
Drifting ‘cross the bridge of time
Soul by soul traverse together
Back to Eden so sublime
This is beautiful, Val, and makes me want to go with you! ! ! I truly love this warm and calming poem, though I am not Adam! Nor Eve for that matter! Still, I enjoyed this very much. Thank you for this excellent poem.
Deep, delicate, and dreamy. Carl Jung would be proud of you, as am I, this is a beautiful poem.
extremely enchanting, the river could be a metaphor of feeling oppressed, but the last line suggest complete reflection, and nostalgia, thank you for taken me on your river
something mystical, something surreal, superbly poetic, extremely nice.
Your thoughts flow far beyond the river's edge, like in a deep dream you take us with you
I could feel this poem with all of my skin dear Valerie! It feels like one of those moments of connection where space and time become limitless. The connection to a river may teach so many things, if only for a while we can keep still falling into a silent reverie! Thank you for share, always a pleasure to read your poems!
A big yes from start to finish. The rhyme and rhythm is faultless, and definitely a keeper. Lovely poem Val.
The poem is sublime, as was, we suppose, Eden. Excellent Val - very thought provoking.
Life beyond life! Reunion thru death.Very nice theme Val.I'm your fan, you know.

A journey into the collective unconscious and at the river's edge we may be calm or excited looking at the moving memories mostly clouded sometimes clear Thank you for sharing, Val..
