Burdened by trouble,
Saddened by loss,
I sought out a river;
Sat on a rock covered with moss.
Saddened by loss,
I sought out a river;
Sat on a rock covered with moss.
I sought out a creek,
And sat in silence;
My head hung down,
Inside I was tense.
The water glistened brightly,
Water tumbled o'er rocks,
And briefly I caught
A glimpse of a fox.
Listening to the water,
My spirit did ease;
I heard birds high above
Chirping in trees.
In nature I healed;
My soul did renew;
I could go back, face people
And take whate'er life threw.

Watching the water flow can be very relaxing.
It is true that nature can be quite healing.

Beautifully written.
