River Oblivion

Light flickers like burning birds

On the dark, silky surface

The willows are leaning over the edge

To catch a glimpse of her beauty

Such a relief

To sink into her shadows

Deep as the grief

Left on the bank

The passage to the other side

The light sat the end

So longed for

And feared

How magic the moment of revealing

How wondrous the waters of healing

Sweet river dark

River Oblivion
