The River Road

And who can say what will become of us,

Or of love….

See how friendship twists and turns,

Two boats moving on a wide river,

Two strangers on the road.

One day I walked out not knowing you would be there.

Not expecting your smile, not looking for your touch

And see how the current brought us close.

Drifting side by side I almost feel your heart beating.

But will storms pull these boats apart,

Or vicious waves send us far away again?

As we always were before I met you on the road,

On the river at the turn of a tide.

Forgive me then if I find you beautiful,

Hear the gentle tones of your voice like a promising song.

Like the sweet call of birds on a woodland way.

Like hope in the night.

Forgive me then that I would wait this while longer to be by your side,

Here hoping again for your touch

Or to see you approaching on the morning tides,

On these lonely roads that you make brighter

On these ways you illuminate through your beauty and song.
