if you know what a river is <br />perhaps you will know a man <br /> <br />i am a man and you will say to the river <br />i have known a man and i have known a river <br /> <br />there is no way that i will never you in full <br />you shall brag to the clouds in your mind <br /> <br />they drift <br />there is no permanence <br />permanence is an illusion <br />a river <br />a cloud <br />water <br />air <br /> <br />and this is where we must start <br />educating air <br /> <br />if you step upon my heart and tell me <br />i have know everything about you and you must not change and that is what you are <br /> <br />you are wrong <br />for i am a river that encircles a mountain <br />but i know a path but the paths do not know me <br /> <br />and so i keep on moving <br />changing paths and what path was it that you have seen yesterday <br />is no longer the path now <br /> <br />you must accept you have never known a river <br />because a river is man <br /> <br />and man is not forever man <br />he is a river that always escapes the hold of your mind <br /> <br />that frame that has walls <br />without even the possibility of another opening for stars....<br /><br />RIC S.
