The River

I am one with the river
Guided gently by her stream
To a shoreline in the distance
The lights of the city
Summon after me
To them I give no resistance
This boat I have fashioned
For this adventure
Is my one and only home
The branches on the riverside
Sing to me in the wind
"Godspeed you wayward passenger!"
I am one with the river
Guided gently by her stream
And when I set my feet on the ground
I'll never forget how sweetly moving me
Was the river I explored
