A Peaceful English Waterway Poem

By Pamela Storch

A peaceful English waterway,

Moored boats along the sides,

A stone bridge in the distance,

Arches over the divides,


For how can people cross the way,

Without a bridge or boat,

A swim might be exciting,

Not unless your bag can float,


For when you understand this scene,

A metaphor surreal,

You understand division,

And how human hearts can heal,


Do not stand only on one side,

But see the purpose true,

A peaceful English waterway,

Reflects and mirrors you.
