The river
touches mountain and sound
for millenia flowing
wild and free
confined to its ribbon bed
is this water
one with the glacier
one with the delta
or separate different
is light a wave
am I the one soul
who at birth
who at death
who now breathes
freely chooses
the forged path I walk
does history forge me
or do I walk apart
clean my dishes
sing my song
perhaps yes and no
the river roars its answers
knowing not these questions
for millenia flowing
wild and free.

Quality piece! I so enjoyed the read and the thoughts it engendered!
I like the contrasts - wild and free, yet confines; one with, yet separate; one at both birth and death, etc.
I loved the yin/yang of this piece...you gave us much to ponder on!
