Floating along this meandering river
Bobbing up and down with the rippling tides
Just following it\'s course with no conscious effort
Watching the world as I drift by
The sun shines down in mirrored obscurity
Never seeing the reflection of what might be
And here I drift immersed in this comfort
Womb like, unasking, free
The water caresses the land so gently
Tickling with playful glee
While I flow on in peaceful contentment
Out to the deepening sea
The flame from the sun
Is slowly extinguished
Onward I ever go
Until this realm of land and sea
Is no longer a place called home
And so I float on through a sea of stars
On a tide familiar but unknown
Then in a lifetime or the birth of a moment
I come to a shore I can call my own
Never have I felt such safe comfort
Or a bliss that touches my soul
And as I step onto this beautiful land
My body fades and goes
And all that\'s left and will ever be
Follows a river out to a sea
And steers toward a final horizon
Neverending, alive and free
