DOWN BY THE RIVER

Down by the river
the river
the river
down by the beautiful river.
Sun glinting off
the wind-riffed water
sparkling like the bay did
yesterday
as we crossed over the long bridge
toward home.
Home.
Returning home
from our trip
to the desert
the hot
the hot
the hot dry desert.
So glad we were
to return
to our home
our home
near the sea
the sea
by the river
the beautiful
the beautiful
cool wet river.
