As we clasp hands and
embark on our boat
We close our eyes
and begin to float

"Just My Imagination"
begins to play in my head
The beginning riff softly echoes
While lying in our river bed

We embrace and sigh
and upon opening my eyes
I see that the sun is slowly setting
orange orb of brilliance, waving goodbyes

The willow trees wave in the breeze
Creating a veil in front of that sun
The birds in v formation fly to their
nesting place, signaling their day is done

We turn to each other and smile
And before we know it
it's night time, the powder blue sky
morphs into midnight to show it

The muted moonlight kisses our faces
as we caress and melt into each other
Wondering how can it be that 2 souls
can be so connected to one another

Still waters suddenly become agitated
slowly turning into a bubbling brook, churning
the boat rocks, the water foams and froths
and even the river bed, looks like it's burning

But now the river is spent and silent
as we snuggle ever so tenderly
Skin damp, glistening under the stars
Floating down the banks, soaking in tranquility

Once again we close our eyes
and fall into slumber upon our boat
adrift in each others dreams
On the river, afloat
 
Down da river afloat
as our love mend & devote
into a bliss of pleasure
eyez glaze wit sensual measure

Softly under da rayz above
tenderly we make gentle love
feeling u as u feel me
afloat in da river just us two
becoming the nightly we

your love embrace me deeper
caressing kisses so sweeter
as my heart grasp as da keeper
yet my soul become so weaker
for yo offering ...................

I really love this piece had me floating in yo tender sway here
 
Tenderly they reached out
and held each other tightly
echoing the sentiments
they had felt so often, nightly

A river of gentle tears
you could still find in traces
Spelling out utter bliss
upon their joyful faces

And now the moon has faded
replaced by the rising sun
They spoon and swoon together
as a new day has begun

Thank you Rich, so glad you loved this tender trek.
