There is a river
that meanders through my life
slowly, quietly, twisting on itself
like a snake just trying to find its way home
Through all the lands I have travelled
embraced or forgotten by the people I met
Through all the travails that scarred me
all the love that melted me
I have always held onto my river
the river that gave me hope
the river that never let me go
no matter what
no matter when
no matter who I was
The river that showed me how to be a human
how to see from the soul
how to fly away but always come back
The river that knows I am home
