Down in the water <br />by the edge of the river <br />where time stands still, <br />.....if only forever. <br /> <br />Down in the water <br />by the edge of the river <br />where I buried all <br />that was ever childhood <br /> <br />Where I let it go, <br />where it bends and meanders, <br />twisting along as the years went past. <br />Seemingly calm, but beneath the surface <br />its hidden whirlpools, a sweeping current! <br /> <br />Down in the water, <br />I left the edge of the river, <br />as I looked down <br />for my soul at the bottom. <br /> <br />Deep in the water! <br />swept away by the river! , <br /> <br />I drowned in life, <br /> <br />......sinking forever.<br /><br />dead before I died<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/deep-of-the-water/
