BY MAYA GREEN
I ran after you straight
Hardly catching my breath
But wait, there you are
Leaning by the river
You have become a palm tree
For you have fallen in love
You have now become a soul, free
Standing by the only one you love
I too want, to sit by the river
And watch it flow by, hopeful
Steadily, unhurriedly, purposeful
Perchance, I too will become a lover
And perchance it too, becomes me
That’s where I would want us to be
To be where the river flows
And to flow, wherever the river goes
