The pull of rushing current The call of flowing streams Silver flashes being channelled Summoned by immortal dreams In stealth slip silently into flow Rest, they know the falls must be run Remaining hours call us to run Un-restrained we surge 'til done, current Taps our energy yet does not stop it's flow We gladly show our force which we radiate in streams With a singleness of purpose found in immortal dreams Focused by an un-known power we are channelled As light filtered by waters depth we are channeled Slip from pool to pool in a slack water run To rest but for an instant schooled in immortal dreams All importance is given the current Lest we fail to advance as time streams Un-impeded in it's constant flow Tidal fluctuations lunar ebb and flow Immence forces now are channelled As we course our destined streams A multitude of flashes signalling our run Ever determined to best the current And achieve immortal dreams Hunger non-existant replaced by immortal dreams Our origins now distant from beyond beginning flow And always there is current All that we shall know channelled To completion of our destiny we run Masters of our fate commanding the streams To renew our purpose nurturing streams Abundant resource of immortal dreams As ordained we are done of the run All energy is expended in battling the flow The total sum of all our energies channelled Time and purpose merged in the current The beginnings of immortal dreams once again flow In spinning swirls of silver riding on the current To return once more to where they are channelled ------------------ Sometimes nonsense isn't . |
