Kissed by the River Like storied beginnings we know there's an end but a river runs through us to-day it saves us from emptiness kissed near its banks though our wishes together may wane Long days of longing and longer the nights We walked cold from our subsided pyres like a river that flows without life -has no life like a river, our lives were those nights Kissed by the river, adorned by its light sheltered by kindness and love showed us the way to the new waters edge we know its beginning, but we don't know the end still it follows the river - and will leave us as friends Something so new and so wonderful borne like sun dappled waves given birth each with beginnings and each with an end and we watch them together in love ride on the river and taste its sweet light imagine still onwards- the sea The salt like that kiss sweeps us on to the end where our wishes and hopes set us free Ride on the river, or kiss on its banks and salty - that kiss finds the sea know river's beginning, we may know its end but its depth wished and hoped soon shall be kayaky
