embrace the river





whispers hiding

behind tomorrow


come forward to hear

what they have to say


soft, trembling words

from fog and unfocused


say embrace the river

be on your way


rushing rapids

no returning


the wind lifts up

your victory song


for given the strength

of a thousand suns


you embrace this life

where you belong
