a vast, tumultuous, frothing sea.
Fear crept in me, alone was I -
Can't return however hard I may try.
I mustered courage, clumsy is my flow -
I came from the peaks, onward I must go.
Infancy, childhood all in my past -
Wide arms of the sea in view at last.
I know this as I in fear shiver -
That I no long will remain a river.
I say to myself, "This is all I know -
It's just my fright and I've to let it go."
I moved on, my steps leaving no trace -
In gurgling rage I found a mother's embrace.
I felt as I went for ever to the sea -
That I was a river and always will be.
