River of Life


We stand watching the ships
A barge full of cargo
The mists off the river
ellude the brevity of motion


The translucent water
magnifies its power
sluggish though the night
We hear the reeds rustle


We survey the horizon
looking for the light
We look up at the stars
at the golden fields of heaven


A bevy of lifetimes
have traversed this river


A slip of a moon shines
in a obsidian haze
