river
selfless, unending
love
you give life
your heart
washes hands of maidens
princes and kings
paupers
priceless lines of life
rebirthed, clean, pure
again
river
i have no name for you
you need no title
no right in this existence to be
as i do
human
fallible
unworthy of your
kiss
i take solemn refuge
by your face
damsel flies dance
upon the surface of your skin
ageless
my river
unconditional grace
i am not worthy
of a solitary drink
i bring to parched lips
yet you pay no heed
river

yet you pay no heed
river
you are silent in speech
yet your cries
fill my spirit with agony
how do you remain in motion
and at peace?
