Heartsong From the River Bank

sit outside until
you forget what you look like
let the sounds and
vibrance of the
river cleanse 
you 
let it 
wash away revealing
your innocent body covered
in ancient dust and
grime
from unused years
revel in confusion
and concern see
the beauty in
fear and
anxiety
nurse your
broken body embrace
change and
live and
let go.
