It Is

I ran to the river

I walked in up to my waist

I let fall the pebbles

I had been carrying

To my surprise they did not sink

But dissolved straight away

Coming undone there in the water

I thought about my life coming undone

All the rooms I’ve had

All the dishes I’ve washed

Every person I’ve been

Each one I thought

As real as a stone

But it is earth crumbling

It is sugar on my tongue

It is the river I return to year after year

It is always there

It is always “me”

But the water is different every moment

Always created and never destroyed

And I wonder

As I watch my hands

“How can this be?”

But it is

  4. I propose the idea that every action is a note played in people’s heart, I am not the notes I’ved played but how I chose to play them to be a part of the symphony that’s life
