The River

Hey you! Wait a minute 

Can I tell you something?

You’re a 99. Did you hear me

You’re a 99

Damn, you're dangerous, mysterious 

Like an animal on the loose

You’re magical and impractical

Plugged into the fabric of the universe 

Endless energy flows  

It’s automatic the connections you make

Your synapses are wired through space

Branching out into the endless void

Are you aware of your strength 

Moving so gracefully and remarkably 

Through the complexities of time

Are you aware of those who cannot see

You seem to know something

But refused to say

Can you give some hints

We don’t see what you see

Make the kingdom visible

So we’re not confused and hopeless

You can walk on water

But that is not what I desire

Water flows without a care

Light doesn’t seem hindered 

Is there something we should know 

A secret deep in our core

Place there for us to retrieve

Or seek endlessly 

That’s not a game I like to play

Seems like a test from a trickster

Who wants to be entertained

By the bizarre actions of others

Are you the trickster 

What’s the mystery 

Will I know before I exit the maze

Will I know the secret

Before returning to the River

I can’t hear you
