Beside A Rivers Bed Poem by Matthew Holloway

Give me a rock
Beside a rivers bed
That I may sit and dream
Let me a hear all birds song
Play amongst the leaves
Let the rain patter and fall
Or the sun rest upon my face
Be the wind still or wild
I shall not question it
Dress me in the finest robes
Or a comforting old cloth
Let me find the time
To sit and contemplate
Or enjoy a toast with friends
Be my canvas full or bare
My writing sparse or complete
Full of wit or a sorrows tale
Be it a mess or neat
I shall find my peace
Upon a rock
Beside a rivers bed
Where I may dream
