The Perfect Place

Just a place to clear my head,
Like watching fish glide across the river bed.
Where the water flows as a current
Making tiny white horses gallop across the shallow stones.

Just a place to rest my aching bones.
My aching soul. My aching mind.

Just a place to watch birds
And animals roam free,
Jumping, bounding, flying, full of glee.
Watching over them from a bridge
Looking out across the river.

Oh, the perfect place that would be.
But if I went there,
I'd never return.
Sinking far too deep into my thoughts,
I'd forget to come up for air.
