Analysis of The River you Cried
Heart frozen, parched lips helplessly quiver.
Wandering on icy fields of fear
through wells of sadness in your eyes, dear
I dropped miles down, into a still river
cried by humanity. I did shiver
and felt my heart thaw as it drank each tear
for death, love, loss and time so linear.
Transformed – I was a fearless griever.
Last glimpse, the sun sets fire to fir trees,
time wraps around and I can close my eyes.
In peace of soul in my fate I can dwell.
How wonderful to take one’s plight with ease
A caterpillar trusts and never dies
Now I’m a butterfly and all is well.
