There’s a river in the distance
I can see its surface shining
Hear the roar of water moving
Drawn toward it, unbound, willing
Hear the river hear it calling
So I walk toward it listening
And I Kneel beside it waiting
Looking down the depths inviting
And I long to know its secrets
In the dark and rushing coldness
If I beg it to receive me
Will it gently take me deeply?
Will it whisper all its knowledge
And confide its magic to me?
As I look towards the headway
And I see no answers ready
I then look towards the trailing
And I know no voices tell me
What I need to know is deeply
Guarded kept for all who seek it
And my soul longs for the answer
So I let the water take me
I fall tumbling downward floating
And the depths they feel my needing
And my body feels so weightless
Looking up towards the surface
Longing lust to live in darkness
With the swirling soft caresses
Will the river love me gently
Will it breathe my life inside me
Or will it find need to crush me
Claiming all MY secrets from me
And I stay below the surface
As my lungs beg for my living
And the river gives his answer
That my life lies on the surface
So I push towards the silver
Of the dancing sunlight quivers
On the top I burst through gasping
Taking life inside my body
And I kick towards the landfall
Just to crawl like I were beaten
But the answers I was seeking
Were inside me just awak-ning
So I step upon the earth bank
And I turn to see the river
Bend to touch the river’s surface
And my hands bring up the silver
My lips kiss the drops of water
Gently hanging from my fingers
Let them fall upon the river
As my thirst no longer burning
I’m content to know my purpose
Just to know I walk beside it
I will never claim its beauty
I will never own its power
I will follow where it leads me
And I look out all around me
There I face the trailing sunset
Walking back along my footsteps
I will always hear with longing
Theres a river in the distance.
