River Within

The fish that knows just water,
And never been without,
The manipulated order,
Of perpetuated doubt…
May never know the river,
Within the one they’re in,
That is flowing in a dither,
Yet is blowing lquid wind…
If you knew what existed,
To still the water’s deep,
Then all that you’ve resisted,
Will spill for you to seep…
More deeper into meaning,
That’s sinking to regain,
The part of you that’s screaming,
To understand the pain…
Know that there’s a river,
That runs before the falls,
To baptize and deliver,
The River within us all…
