For my own life

For my own life

I will cry me a river

I will not become the dam

Because love is flow

Is water

And is life

And the natural flow of a river

Is to know its source

And to ache for it

With every cell of its being

That is water

That is love

So if I turn to the quieter life

And seek now only

the solitude of the river bank

and nature

it will be because

it is here

my soul finds its true home

and nature will never argue with me

as humans will

if my soul decides I need to

Cry me a river
