Into Oceans From Streams

Post by bags123 » Tue Jul 03, 2012 6:36 am

Into Oceans From Streams

At the mouth of a river lies the sum of man's dreams.
Pouring forth raw devotion into oceans from streams.
Meandering currents from some backwater pool
converge in reunion, like old friends from High School
Flowing faster together. Turning notions to dreams.
Pouring forth raw devotion into oceans from streams

When the mouth of the river fills itself with man's schemes,
and henceforth now the nature of the ocean of dreams
The commander of currents will abandon the rules
Come the flood of ideas in from yesterdays fools
Pouring forth their devotion in our ocean of dreams
At the mouth of a river nearly blocked by man's schemes

Thanks LS. Watch out for those dangerous currents. They can sweep you away before you realize. :hello:
