The mighty Murray River flows, its water deep and fast
Its tranquil peace and beauty seen, forever it will last.
A place to come, relax a while, your worries set adrift
Enjoy the wonders that it gives, your spirit will uplift.
The warming rays of sun beat down, soak it through your skin
The cockerels of your heart light up, shows happiness within.
For just a moment let it rest, upon your furrowed brow
Release the tensions in your life, enjoy the here and now.
Take in the sounds of nature's call, ask for nothing less
And feel the gentle breeze pass by, upon your face caress.
Breathe in the smells of bush perfume, a pure unaltered scent
These gifts I take, accept with grace, but know they're only lent.
The circles in the river made, as insects dart around
And skim the surface as they swim, in quest of the unfound.
But as I sit and take it in, a smile upon my face
I wouldn't swap this time for quids, nor be any other place.

Author Notes
Written at Easter time this year, 2015 while sitting on the banks of our beautiful Murray River ( in Victoria Australia) my family and friends go camping every year. I love to just sit and watch the river and gives me time to think and ponder. I find the Murray very inspirational and I enjoy the quiet times it offers.
Quids refers to money
I hope you enjoy this poem
