Rhyme on the River

One in the know drops a line,

there was no A B C to spell,

yet it keeps spreading.

An animated lingua

wraps round the eyeline.

All those that get wind of it

arise and keep counting.

Without a beginning or an end,

For it has no 1 or 9,

not a mark nor a sign.

Speechless, breathless me,

turn to mine, the one,

superior turned-on mind.

And it appeared true,

true to that credible nature

that identifies indeed

the 'name' of the composer!

 

Meanwhile, a bird of time.

A giant spell takes no time,

eases off in a blink of eye.

I start to breathe,

begin to revive, again in my

native countryside:  

some clay-bumps on the river.

I can cry, smile, now I

can shed tears.

Rhyme on the river.

What's in a river?

'Lores of time immemorial,

an open heart on the move!'

 

Is there anyone out there

'tapped into the running cycle of water,

following the rhyme on the river'?

One in the know drops a line,

there was no A B C to spell,

yet it keeps spreading.

An animated lingua

wraps round the eyeline.

All those that get wind of it

arise and keep counting.

Without a beginning or an end,

For it has no 1 or 9,

not a mark nor a sign.

Speechless, breathless me,

turn to mine, the one,

superior turned-on mind.

And it appeared true,

true to that credible nature

that identifies indeed

the 'name' of the composer!

 

Meanwhile, a bird of time.

A giant spell takes no time,

eases off in a blink of eye.

I start to breathe,

begin to revive, again in my

native countryside:  

some clay-bumps on the river.

I can cry, smile, now I

can shed tears.

Rhyme on the river.

What's in a river?

'Lores of time immemorial,

an open heart on the move!'
