Drifting Along The Nile Poem by Sandra Black

Drifting along the river Nile
Slow rushed and yet gentle strides
Going with the flow
To see where it begins
Floating along to see if it ends

A cool soft breeze
Plays on my face
I am in no hurry
To increase the pace
Eyes wide open and yet shut

To the worries of the world
And its cares
I am moving totally unawares
Take me with you gentle river
Help ride on your calm back

I promise to stay
Even in the rough outbacks
Promise for evermore now
This heart is sworn to you now
I will sway with thee obey thee

Just say the word
You winding stream
I am beginning to love this dream
Never do I want to wake up
With a scream

Tears flow down my eyes
When you touch my soft insides
I am turning to a soft wobbly mush
A cool delicate delicious slush
Drink me in I pray

I shall have no other
This I can say
There is only one
With whom I'd rather stay
Just you and me together lay

Drifting along the river Nile
Hope the river doesn't bend
At the turnstile
I have held you close
And hugged you tight

We shall cruise
On this ship tonight
Asps and mummys don't scare me
With you I shall
Cross the seven seas
