River

Go as a River,

keep moving forward,

releasing the heaviness,

the current carrying me

to new places

of healing.

The dark

washing over me,

peaceful symphony of

birdsong above,

a constant concerto

of white oaks shading me,

seasons changing seamlessly,

floating toward light,

flowing, lifting me

above the mossy riverbed,

cleansing freshwater,

deep knowing:

I am the River.
