SOMEWHERE RIVER
Somewhere River
winding through time’s corridor
silent chronicler
of the heart of man and its sacred inner core
sentinel of history
record-keeper
of life's mystery
it forgets never
night and day
its waters meander
through every remote bend near or far away
further and yet further
can you hear its song so tender
when the night is hushed asleep
when the tired moon longs for slumber
when the stars in deepest silence weep?
We are all like Somewhere River
we exist somewhere –each a traveller
through time, a lonely unknown wanderer
this is our life-story—what else should we remember?
