Besides the River



I walk besides the stream

 

They call it the river

 

Of no return.

 

 

 

I walk aimlessly

 

As the waters leave me

 

Far behind

 

As they merge with eternity

 

And

 

Seek of me

 

To bide my time…

 

 

 

Slowly, but with a stable gait

 

I continue my walk

 

Silently all alone

 

As the water down

 

Thames has flown

 

 Then

 

 When I reach the horizon

 

My walk ceases

 

Any motion,

 

As I await

 

To be pushed and submerged

 

In the vast ocean…

Mmmmmmm. Loved, you have come into the own! Congratulations. but the wave? does the wave look forward or back? does the shore regret footprints washed away? ~A "Just as what you dream is your own and no one else can observe it, so the world you see is your own." ~ Nisargadatta

You add a necklace To my neck And someone Is now sure to pull me Into the ocean much faster Any way we all have to Pass away Some day Thanks anyway You are a great inspiration Who forever paves my pathway...
