The River Flow
T.M. Stevens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From mind to heart, before,
Thoughts turn tangible,
and words create the universe,
Of which we're part,
That spiritual whitematter transmitting interpreting,
Nothingness peace,
Serenity and clarity.
Peace like a river flows,
Swishes quietly cajoles.
And with time,
Skies do clear,
Through the clouds,
We fnally see, a gleam, a beam, a ray.
