The river is always changed
after the stone
has pierced her
still waters.

The river is always changed
after the stone
has pierced her
still waters.
Today, the river of life is warm.
My goodness.
It’s all the lovely things.

There will always be a river,
waiting,
waiting for me.
And I will lay me down
on her sandy banks,
bathing in the softness of me,
dreaming all the dreams
of this heart-shaped life
of mine.
There will always be a river.
Waiting.
Waiting for me.
It’s the third day of Christmas.
And here I am
sitting under the shade of a barky tree,
listening to the river,
counting my blessings as they float on by.
What is this beautiful life?
What is this warm breeze
that gives me everything I never knew I needed?
This feeling soothes me.
And every time it finds me
it’s essence fills me more
and more
and more
like a drug that’s addicted to me.
Oh, how I crave it.
Oh, how I wish it would stay.
