A beautiful poem i found about a river

River Runs Free

By

David Windle

River runs free river runs free 
along the rocky ridge and down
 towards the sea
river runs free river runs free 
like the wind and birds
and you and me.

As the slow sky turns
 and the deep sun burns
 and the dark earth
 rests beneath
river runs free river runs free
 like a glittering seam of stars.

As the leaves draw light
from the woven air
 and the grass drinks hard
 from the frozen soil
 river runs free towards the sea
 like a rope of silver silk.

As the quiet fish dive
 and the birds alight
 and the jungle
 sings with life
 river runs free with you and me
and the horizon calling endlessly.
