At the Blue River

By Gert Knop—Germany, Jack Horne—England

and Inge Wesdijk (Daginne Aignend)—The Netherlands

Lonely at the blue river,

lingering,

gazing at the stones in it,

shiny, like precious jewels,

without the dust of the past.

Lonely at the blue river,

thoughts wander with the wind,

rushing distant clouds

on a quiet day

Soothing, murmuring

friendly wavelets

whispering stories

as they move

in circles

Tranquil moments,

daily devoirs

vanish leisurely

A praise for the mind

Lost in my memories,

serene sadness,

at peace with the past.

Raindrops splash,

each drop adding ripples;

the sun still shines, 

sparkling on the water.

Mellow moments,

a salve for the soul.
