A Lost River


A Lost River

There I see the river flow,
Without any spark or glow
Lost what it had days before
And it asks me, ”How many days more
Have I got to see the show?
How many days more will I flow?”

 
The blue waters have turned grey,
Remembering the days so gay
Whispering with fishes and chattering with leaves,
Now the days ahead seem to freeze
Here I see now the choking plastics,
And I think “How can death be so drastic?”
 

How can one forget the days?
When it saw me with its silver gaze
How can man be so blind and cunning,
That he is still running
For he still wants to find,
Heaven, that lays behind!

 
I cannot say I love you
Forgive me as I had no clue,
That it was this you were going through.
Hundreds of men die every day,
Some be sad others make hay
It is not them I am going to miss.

 
It’s someone who gave me a life like this,
It is you , Oh river you!
And for why I give you a simple answer,
I am not going to let you lie,
Neither am I  going to lie
Because Oh dear river, I love you!
