I am the River
264
I am the River
I am the river, the Wakamarina River
Who calls you, greets you,
Receives you
Who is your personal river
As you stand beneath the waterfall
Your future an empty book
In your upraised hands
As you listen to the voice in your immigrant heart
Calling you, calling you
Ever home
To the River
Who is the voice of every river
Who is the Giver
Of all life
Who is calling you
Ever home
Ever
Home
To the River
The saying was given on my 64th birthday as I stood beside a pool on the Wakamarina River
I remembered how I’d come to the Wakamarina River four months previously
& how I’d stood beneath a waterfall
& how the river spoke to me
Calling me
I accepted the rivers invitation & bought a small cottage near the river
On my 64th birthday, once again I stood beside the river, remembering the rivers call
I did, the Self spoke the words; ‘I am the River’
I understood the Self to be saying, the Self is the Wakamarina River
(& each & ever river throughout the world)
& that the Self is the voice of the Wakamarina River
(& the unique voice of each & every river throughout the world)
& that the Self is the Great River; the River of Life
The poem is written in the voice of the Self
