My Stand:
This river
Cold and deep
All my thoughts just lurk beneath its surface
To break upon the shore
To hold all that is dear
In a rush I hear a voice
To take my stand
Or face defeat
How long will I last against myself this time?
Where will it end?
When will this vessel reach a dry place?
To listen to the cry of the animals in the night
Each singing its own song
It scares me to think
They have what I don’t
Purpose they have found.
For them its just surviving.
For me, what?
