Rivers' Bend

A place  A compass  In direction we now lean

We need our bend in the river  Our wooded scene

Like others that have come before

Protecting our valued afore

We are returning to our source  The Eternal light

The essence of the pastors force  Equal to our fight

We need our bend in the river  Our wooded scene

What's been said is vague  Simple and quite trite

The bend in the river funnels our sight

Pleas empty unless fostered by empathy

How we receive them shapes our humanity

Our judgment be not clouded  Lest speeches that stir

Homage to the expendable  Who we once were

We need our bend in the river  Our wooded scene

A school of thought  That 'We Get As Far As We Venture'

Ever downstream  The river sings in surreal splendor

Our river shares not  Our past direction  Last known

River bends revealing   Directions leading home

The waterwheel  Rustling water  Showers us in sound

Drowning the vast world out  Numbing us to places found

Defend our bend in the river  Our wooded scene

This moment crawls then  Releases us our 'Rivers Bend'
