Countryside Memories Poem by Phil Soar

Along a stretch of river, where the water flows at pace
I sit beside a waterfall, and stare out into space
I draw on my emotions, and imagine that I'm free
And let the wind blow across my face, and chill the bones of me

The quiet of the countryside, is broken by the sound
Of water racing past the scene, and splashing all around
And yet, a perfect silence has surrounded me for hours
In between the setting sun, and spring like daily showers

And through the day I take my time, and make my memories
Storing them for future use, as I wait for their release
Knowing I can call them up, from deep inside my mind
Pleasing to recall them, as I leave the world behind
