One Day Down River
dreaming the poets dream of purity
dissolving civilized rituals of society
into the light of pure being
unifying all humanity in truth
which is a timeless retelling of ancient knowledge
only reflected separately as identity
viewing life through a peculiar lens
which honors the glorious balance
of undisturbed country
curiosity driving the poet
to sing with the rarest bird
unseen in the wild night
and though he renders all in loving detail
he finds his world swiftly disappearing
and so driven he drives his pen
to catch a draught of time
offering to future generations
a sincere survey of their origins
