River of no Return

a poem by Remigius de Souza

I am not a parasite on society
Nor on my family, least in any way.
Though longing for community
I shun away from identity.

I am in the river of no return.
There is no time to wait for anyone.
You came; you joined for a while
Looking for landing all the while.

This way is sometimes rough and deep
Some times fall from heights
If you loose your breath, and weep
None other than river to console and wipe

Your tears other than the river.
Attach no meaning – no purpose to her.
She is in herself, by herself complete.
Breath her in all fullness in and out.

I am reeling and rolling over and over
Living this very moment to moment
Reaching out with every drop
To my beloved deep ocean infinite.
