RAGING RIVER MERGING SEA

Raging river merging sea
Raging river merging sea

Raging river restless river
Rolling rumbling tumbling
Falling roiling broiling

Rushing river screaming river
Rushing crashing thrashing

Soundless… seeking…
sea or sky
Restless… crushing…
do or die
Rushing river rocks and rapids
Blocks, locks, mock… mock at it

Raging fury fighting flying falling
falling river losing slowing flowing
slowing river flowing…
flowing surrendering…
to the sea…
see… the sea

See the sea…

Come as cloud
soft and lofty
Watching... waiting...
whispering...
Whispering wind...
whispering rain...

Whispering sea or sky…
Come, swim and fly

See the sea…
See the sea…

Come as cloud soft and lofty
Guiding goading pulling pushing
Loving holding loving soothing

Until restless running river comes to merging sea
Until restless running river rests in merging sea

Raging river merging sea
