we can look into the river today
as into the mirror of the mind
thick, dark currents, swirls
travelling along the surface
gouts of foam as though it had
sweat, lathering like a driven horse
i can feel it behind my eyes
within my skull
events shape us like the wind
silent, impermanent, profound
as if something huge in the belly of the
water woke into and out of light slumber
you told me to hold emotions
in the cushion of my attention
and in an instant i could see
the airbags, those feelings
words can do that to me
or, as today, the mirror of the
river of my mind running as though
it would never dry out, running,
shaped by time until the wind
runs out of time
to shape that river
Very nice… loved this line “events shape us like the wind
silent, impermanent, profound” so well expressed. Enjoyed it…đđ¤đâ:-)
