Peace flows over me like a
soothing melody.
My heart expands and love
floods my bones.
Ecstasy makes me float like a
goddess.
I cannot pull the words from
my mouth
to capture the feelings
invading my brain.
Perhaps silence is the best
response
as I gaze at morning’s light
streaking across the Nile
River.
We float on an Egyptian yacht.
The Aida is forever imprinted
on our hearts.
It gently carries us on this
majestic river.
We are all at peace savoring
the magic
in the quiet float on a
powerful waterway
that transports the weight of
humanity downstream.
T
he inner pictures of my soul
are not ready to release.
They tease me with no mercy.
I yield and bend my knees
on this sacred deck
in praise of this River.
Living in the moment is the
key.
I savor the endless love
flowing through this morning
and hold my robust coffee
close to the chest.
