Engulfed in the River with a good view of time,
i see the rushing of the water as it strips me of Mine,
i hear the whispering of thieves gently splashing on the shores,
their whispering is stealing in through every door.
And the face of the heavens shine in silence on the top,
Reflecting on this stillness... but the River doesn't stop.
Writhing deep within lusting for some Land.
Reaching with my faults for a place to stand,
but any struggle for control and the Waters can be hell...
the mesmerizing motion is a powerful spell...
And to run from the RIver where would you go?
If your running from motion you surely don't know...
If in a dream a River were to cross your mind
you would know it isn't so.
If in a dream a Thief were to rob you blind
you would know it isn't so.
As my Marks move on the banks roll away.
In an Ocean with no shore there's nothing to say.
