River Running Passionate and Strong

River running passionate and strong
Over the course a rock… or two
The stream moves forward
Ever moving and yet unchanging
For this Water is in Truth

We walked along the river bank
Skimming the wetness while moving along
Breathing in the air around us
Not yet singing the Water’s song
Dipping our toes to know only of potential

Currents ran with powered fate
Toe dipping transformed into a wade
Called by natural affinity to waters true
Along the banks of polluted and stagnant ponds
Skipping in and out the river’s peace

Refreshment found… a brief reprieve
Then back again to the grinding scene
Is such water our only breath?
This the question we to ourselves did test
And yet the beckon: come in to waters true

Careless children, we dirtied ourselves
Running in through darkened forests
Grimed of mud and cut by nice smelling pine
Instead of water, to breathe in wine!
Forest dark and dreary, stepped upon and now are weary

Forget the forest and it’s besmirch
Dive in the pond together… it works!
Swim walled in by the earthly on all sides
Live here in love, anger, and lies
Into the mossy and stagnant pond

Swim lively, swim cold… Tired? It’s old.
The earth closes in on the breadth of the pond
Wounds of old plagued by moss and stagnation
Discovered from one to another… tribulation!
Trapped in a body where sickness breeds

Let it go! I Love. Give Water True to me.
We leave the sick pond in tears and shame
But there is one river to wash us clear again
Here we leave by choice, from pond to river.
The pond is our past…
and now we seek that which will ever last.

The river runs deep and ever forward.
The source of which is one Holy Sword
Immersed in God’s stream is the home of true love
Where sin and resentment come white as the dove
On the edge I won’t stand. Here! One valiant leap!

Into the current, away with the past
Swim with me together, ever be my guard
Delivered unto Truth… we can no longer stand
Instead we are humbled, love is a different brand

River running passionate and strong
Over the course a rock… or two
The stream moves forward
Ever moving and yet unchanging
For this Water is in Truth.
