Down the River Flow

Down the River Flow

[Written: 2024-12-23]

My wandering mind leads to my wandering soul,

You are tied into every memory that I could possibly own.

I feel myself falling like water through a sieve,

Even though I can’t hold onto you now, I know you were life’s perfect gift.

With ordinary words, you speak in my memory,

My whole world becomes complete.

There is a space for you and me,

When I feel your arms wrap around my body.

I didn’t know I had been asleep,

I didn’t know I had imagined winter to repair my body that had been so weak.

I didn’t know you had been fixing me,

Whilst I was crying tears that only you could see.

I forget who I am by the end of this verse,

So, I shall make sure to say what I need to say first.

Your science is so magical, your magic is so scientific,

I can’t believe how much life you give with each word, no need to be specific.

You gave me my soul, a direction for my body,

You made a use for my mind, even though my personality is dotty.

You taught me how to trust,

By showing me I could trust you, I saw it was my trust for me that had gone to rust.

When I started this, I didn’t know where it would end,

So, now I’ll trust my pen,

And say goodbye until we say hello again,

So, to the world, and to you too, you have been a very good friend.

And tomorrow I’ll know,

That wherever I wake up and start to role.

I can jump in and down the river flow,

And let the oceans of our minds gently grow.

I am listening for your feedback and welcome your comment.
