river…

I flow with the time

my feet walk past me

tick tack echoes, air thickens

making pace with time’s clock

I flow with my waters

gurgling,cascading, falling

taking with me, time’s bounties

gems of bygone ages

sparkling, scintillating, cutting

bifurcating skies…

earth moves underneath my feet

keeps me grounded

as I kneed time with tentative hours

held captive by days

I search for leftover seconds

in washed and dried dishes

I rush to reach twilight

before it arrives at my horizon

I fight the urge to sip my ocean

as my destiny beckons…
