By the river








I like the river.

The fresh chilly air,
the sound of the waves crushing on the rocks.
City sounds driven away by a calming sensation. 
The sound of the wind in the tree leaves.
Little sparkles of sunlight dancing, glistening.
The sky immersing into the watery blue.
clouds as far as my eyes can reach,
constantly changing shape.

by the river, I breathe.



Ik hou van de rivier.

De frisse koele lucht,
Het geluid van de golven die stukslaan op de rotsen.
Stadsgeluiden verdreven door een kalmerende sensatie.
Het geluid van de wind tussen de boombladeren.
Kleine vonkjes zonlicht dansend, glinsterend.
De lucht ondergedompeld in het waterige blauw.
Wolken zover als het oog reikt,
voortdurend veranderend van vorm.

Bij de rivier adem ik.

If I want to go to the river, it's just a little walk for me.
I know, I'm a lucky woman.
What a great place to relax and chill. I like the movement of water. It's similar and different here, I like to hang out on the ocean and listen to the waves.

Oh, it's must be so nice to live near the ocean!
It always amazes me how water can bring on such strong emotions. Rivers, lakes, the ocean. I love all of them.

Me too. There something so powerful and soothing at the same time about water.
There is something so powerful and calming about a body of water.
