Riparia
Dec 14, 2020
Did you really stop
to look at the water
as it moved with
quiet patience
Did you really take in
the rippling river-light
letting it through
your lidded eyes
Did you stop to breathe
the wetness of life —
a clean, simple must
of mud and microbes
Did you really capture
this feeling of being —
reminders of our
original purpose
Did you safekeep this moment
for deskbound days
longing again
to run away
