The Thames

The Thames


     Again here I find myself
          this river is my friend
     When all seems lost and times get tough
          I come with paper and pen

     For here along her shoreline
          somehow the answers come
     My mind becomes replenished
          as I lie here in the sun

     Go ahead, work your magic
          sun and wind and water too
     Cleanse my soul, and clear my thoughts
          just the way you always do

     Tell me through your whispered breezes
          tell me how, to right the wrongs
     Please assure me, with your beauty
          I can do this, for I am strong

     As the gull calls out his warning
          and the swans drift slowly by
     Fill me with your flowing essence
          help me stop these tears I cry

     For within you lies a power
          and a rage resides in me
     Let your power flow throughout me
          carry my rage, to the open sea.
