We float down the river

The river of our love

We coo

We babble

We

Float down the river

Filling our minds with

Words

That enchain


///


The river enters the great ocean

Of love !

We

Drown in the enormity

Of Creation

//

Our love !

Where is it  ?

Where are our words now ?

//

Childhood can be a pleasant journey

Down the river

But we call the river the ocean

& so we suffer

For we are not yet of the ocean

//

And so when we get to the ocean

We have not the wisdom of riding down the river

In joy

•

We drown

Lovelessly

//

We drown thinking we are all alone
