This River I Cry
In the dusty mire
of half forgotten dreams,
in tear filled streams
of unfulfilled desires.
I swim towards reason
in the muddied river of time,
flowing onward
to the sea of eternity.
Whirlpools and waterfalls
currents and undertows,
seeking my drowning
the death of my will.
I swim or sink,
surf or drown,
onward, onward
through pain and storm.
There seems no rest
no tranquil shore,
no meaning to anything.
Just this river
that I cry,
I must forever swim.

Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.
