The Other Side of The River

Sit here right beside me

Feel the breeze petting your cheeks

And playing with your hair

While the sun

sets

before

us

Let me tell you about the river…

Its dark green waters begin

Like a thread

of

hope

downhill

The long, winding bed

Stretches

much

farther

than

the eyes

can

see  

Moistening and nourishing

everything

along

the

way

Let’s watch the river carrying with it

Time and space

Breathe

in and out

in its

rhythm,

Vibrating like its waters that also run through us

Let me learn about you…

If you close your eyes

You can

feel them better

Wetting your tongue

down

to

your

throat

These waters tell you who you are

And where you come from

They were the vessel and liquid of your mother’s womb

They are the form and taste of your tears

The waters in you

The waters in rivers

Who have these waters been holding?  

What person do they shape and reflect?

If you were a river…

What feelings would you carry downstream?

What ideas would you seed and make flourish out there?

  1. The Greek historian Heraclitis said of time and change, “No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it’s not even the same river and he’s not the same man.”
