When I stand by the river

[Hasse]

I figured it was the river Lethe, but, ironically, I couldn't remember its name.

This is a beautiful poem , Erniet. One I don't want to forget.

[erniet]

Thank you, Hasse! That means a lot!

Very nice, ernie. Sober reflections indeed. Nature has a way of drawing that out in us, I think. Provided we're at the right spot.

[erniet]

Thanks, James!

Actually I wasn't outside when this idea hit me; I think I was driving...😂

It's actually about the river Lethe, the river of forgetfulness or oblivion in Greek mythology.

This one had me reflecting on my life 😂

Was it a long road trip or a short drive ?

[erniet]

About 40 minutes...😁

Beautiful poem. I hope I feel some of this before I die. Thoughts of loved ones, of nature, with no regrets or pain just peace.
