Lifeless River

Lost and lonely;
Alone, in my own
solitude
Walking;
wandering;
Wondering;
worrying
under the grip of the
souls of darkness,
Living at the banks of
a blue river, in a small
Hut, built by mud and clay,
The stagnant  water
deep and dark;
No light;
no illuminations;
No clouds,
No moon,
No stars
The water was dark
like my own  life
Within the water
was cold blooded,
just as my soul felt.
I missed the feel of
sun on my skin,
the feel of a soft breeze
through my hair,
the smell  of rain in the air.
It felt as if I had been in this
dark place all my life,
But missed living,
I  lost and all that
in front of me ,
due to this
lifeless river.

I love this. It reminds me of many a lonely time sitting by a river.
