I fell in love with this place
First it was scary but a beautiful sight to behold
For long she was close to me but I noticed her not
For her gentle waves and quiet morning breeze instills inner peace
Peace not as the world giveth
But peace as the Lord giveth through her
For days I listen to her waves and the air as they make their way from Ethiopia to Egypt
She whispers breathe
As I watch her ripple expands
It was a place to think of nothing and just relax as I sit on her beach .
I enjoyed watching her as the weird coffee lady enjoyed watching me watch her
I feel her ripples as they flow past my legs
Most paths she passes through I have visited
For she has seen the many parts of me
For they say if you drink from her once you will surely come back one day
Old wives tale maybe
But I have drank from her
Washed from her
Praise be the Lord for his infinite mercy and grace
I was baptized in her .
I will miss you River Nile
