The Never River

The never river
With its golden velvet duckweed
Drifts with the laughter of shadows
The echoes of summer
The mist of spring

The never river glitters with
Raining joy
Limitless peace
Twilight smiles

The never river flows with
the waves of anger
The currants of pain
The streams of guilt

The never river floods with
The tears of a tarnished child
The sorrow of a shattered mother
The weeping of a forgotten father

The never river remains with
The will of a no one
The power of a nothing
The strength of a nobody
