The Water's Edge

Painting/Claude Monet

 

I walk along the water’s edge,

Where, weeping willow roots grow deep.

Riverbanks flow with grains of sand

Flowing deeply, with thoughts of you.

A tiny pebble of your smile,

Skip’s over the shimmer of yesterday.

Footprints in salmon and ivory sand,

Flows through the hourglass of time,

And as the crystal pendulum sing’s

I walk along the water’s edge;

Where weeping willow roots grow deep

Beneath the midnight starry skies,

I slip upon the grapes of love,

And marvel at reflections of once was.

Where weeping willow roots grow deep

Beneath the midnight starry skies,

I slip upon the grapes of love,"
