Beside A River And A Tree Poem by Barry Middleton

Beside A River And A Tree

Rating: 5.0


the desire to be a king
weighs more than lead or gold
weighs more than love

the wind within the willow
may know a secret Universe
or maybe two

the destiny of fools
is written by the pen of wishes
and stained by tears

regret consumes a dream
all dreamers fight for hope and yet
they often lose

the shaman finds a home
beside a river and a tree
his soul breaks free

Full of wisdom. Indeed, soul finds peace only in nature. Material things are only for the gratification of the flesh. A big 10.
