&quot;I realize that life is risks. It&#039;s acknowledging the past but looking forward. It&#039;s taking chances that we will make mistakes but believeing we all deserve to be forgiven.&quot; <br /> -The Dead Tossed Waves.

A river of peace
Is a river of love
It is a roller coaster of gratitude,
Laughter and joy.
A river of peace
Is beautiful
Diamonds sparkling in the sun
Millions upon millions
Consisting of happiness and fun.
A river of peace
Is consistent
It is the train
That carries me through my journey
Stretching on for miles and miles
Rippling over sediments and rocks
That remain determined in their place.
A river of peace
Is natural, casual yet invincible
A forever remaining beauty
Smooth and silky always on the run.

This was a joy to read; it made me smile. There is nothing more satisfying to me than absolute peace, a river of peace.
