River’s Edge
By R. Cary
Walking on the river's edge my soul only thinks to drift
Wondering in my heart, a flowing stream,
A consciousness pulsing along the earth
Beating its own path
Running its own course
If I crossed the river's edge
If only I knew its rhythm
I could jump right in
Live as one with this earth
Through the river's muse, I could be as one
If only I was brave enough
To let go, to face my fears of uncertainty
To trust this river, to listen to its eternal bliss.
If I only I knew how to live in my instincts,
To trust my own self beliefs saying to myself,
I can only live for the day next if
Only I knew tomorrow would never come
I would live like today was my last
And jump in this river's course.
If only I could let this river guide me
Letting it give to me truth in this life
Truth in what was here before me
A living history right in front me.
If only I knew what this river knew
How much more knowledge this river has than I do.
So much I want to know,
Each ripple an exposure of truth,
Each turn of life at this river’s edge
If only I knew what was ahead on this journey,
The life this river has carved to live
A story we should all see in our humanity
We over time have our truth to become.
If only I could tell our truth, our
Beaten paths wearing this world
Into canyons of our will letting truth
And pureness arrive in our ripples of faith.
If only I could see
We are the river flowing with purpose with this earth
A relentless humanity living as this mother earth
If only I could see.
