JUDITH

Hey Hello

 

I sit here,

Beside the rushing desert river,

In the shade of sundown,

I sit,

beside the brittle, tangled vines,

on this dark dry stump,

I say,

Hey Hello,

To this deep rushing river,

And there is no response,

She has no need,

to answer my hello,

NO need,

To tell me,

Who she is,

where she comes from,

where she is going,

No need to know,

Who I am,

Where I come from,

Where I am going,

River is simply here,

With her full,

All knowing rushing silence,

In deep communion.
