about

A song about taking your river of surviving back to the ocean of being.

lyrics

My River

My river’s going back to the ocean, no more bruising on the shore.
The soul’s progression set in motion, yearning at its core.

Fragile river, picking through stone.
Water under water, undertow, over bone.

Cleaned of the word, emptied of light;
Word’s not a net now, the word is the flight.

Kingdom crowned by the ocean,
In its realm, one mother tongue.
Fear, remorse, devotion;
In its sway are one.

Everything turns, change and desire
Everything burning—the secret life of fire.

Take it all, all down to the ocean,
Eternal silence, still and deep.
Rise and fall, eternal motion,
Eternal lung swells and heaves—

Death so slow it looks like life,
So slow it looks like terrific speed.
Form from the search for form,
So full it looks empty.

Rise and swell, heart crest like a humpback whale
Huge and unknown. Be huge and unknown.

The ocean remembers me.
