fleet river


here beside the mountain stream
time flows with the fleet river's lapping
ripple rapids spill foam on the bank
days flow by the same

listen while the water polishes pebbles
and the fleet river reaches the surface of our dreams
time flows by the same

in the dappled sunlight the clocks slow down
we walk in circles
days returning
fleet time changing
fleet river flowing
life flows by

fleet river

beside the mountain stream
time flows with the river's lapping
ripple rapids spill foam
days flow by the same

tumbling water polishes pebbles
while the fleet river reaches
the surface of dreams
time flows by

trees line the river bank
the sun spills through them
the clocks slow down
I walk in circles:

days returning
fleet river's flowing
fleet time's changing
life flows by the same
