The River And The Sea

I sat in the silence of the riverbank Watching the river going to the sea Riding on her waves To her oceanic lover Who must embrace her And become one in union! I imagined myself on the bride’s side Sending her off To her majestic groom! The sun lit the river’s path, Dressed her in orange-red Before its own flame Sank in her water! As the last heron left the river Carrying on her wings The fading daylight, It was my time to go home, Sadly knowing though, Tomorrow, When the river would be on her way To yield once more to her lover, I would not be on her bank.
