the river

I have no time
to sit and stare
Stone by the river
Washing my wares
Life it tests me
here and there
Heart by the river
Trading its cares
Seeing things through
Teasing things out
Sat by the river
Fathom what’s fair
Feeling little
But casting out
Follow the river
Truth will out
The river’s banks
Verdant, stout
Gaze at the river
That’ll last me out
