Rivers In The Sky

 

In a vain grasp I tried to catch you, oh me, oh my

It's not what I thought it would be, here way up high

As you passed by I'm left with icy palms and drenched, soaked hands 

Rivers below testify how you quench our thirsty lands 

 

Coming together we hear your laughs as thunder

See your energy breaks as lightings we remember

The paths you travel amidst yonder blue everywhere

Onlookers gaze at you, up high in the troposphere 

 

From afar we wonder at the beauty of your forms 

We bathe in the waters of your heavy frowns

As you burst upon us in great favor, we look to you with winsome delight

A comforting sleep hearing your pitter, patter on roof tops at night

 

To catch you is to be allowed to fall on us in copious showers

Creeks and streams dream of mighty rivers, come to know what's only ours

This earth always covered by you, a welcome guest never far from view

Then all down here would smile with thanksgiving, feeling renew

Chris G Peters were born on the most southerly gem in the necklace of islands spanning the Caribbean Sea. Here where the sun shines differently and set as though kissing the horizon, where coral reefs blooms, surf greets the sand, musical rendition of waves pounding the shore. A salty mist is in the air and the verdant beauty of nature abounds everywhere. Learn more.
