the river celestial

through mountains
and meadows
and valleys of be
runs the river
celestial
 
fed by time
it courses on
its power, its depth
ancestral
 
and at its shore
from journey and past
kneels the woman
seeking
 
cupped hands fervently scoop
galaxies, stars,
cosmos up whole
she is sated by the river
drinking
 
but what of those far off eyes
falling upon this scene
knowing and still
they peer
 
from shore across
atop vantage highest of high
she meets this gaze
with fear
 
in her pause
the water yet passes
galaxies, stars,
cosmos flow on
 
only a moment
does it take to see
in these eyes, a friend
once thought long gone
 
over whirls and rapids
waves coursing deep
never one crossing of path
but several
 
and ever on
through mountains
and meadows
and valleys of be
runs the river
celestial
