I walked down to the river

I walked down to the river

26 June 2015

 

Trickle of water

Ran upwards from spirit’s palm

Defying physics

Challenge to set intentions

Opened reservoirs of grace

 

Spring fresh gushed onwards

Streams forming in its light trail

Moving upward drive

Elevated concepts rose

Scaling mere fragments of thought

 

Land formations thinned

Water seeped in through all cracks

Deltas met their end

I walked down to the river

While it flowed down to the sea

 

Seagulls mewed faintly

Their sullen voices beckoned

Ocean’s thunderous cry

Flooded in white light that roared

Source stood in wake of my call
