river of joy

Flowing,

like a song;

River of joy,

Oh, how I yearn to submerge in thee!

Deep,

Through

the pristine layers

of elixir-

washing away my anguishes,

let me seep

in thy

pureness.

River of joy,

Take me with thee

To the valley

Of serenity.

un-flapping

Torn

by the

ice cold winds,

the wings,

scarred;

colours,

bleeding

into lifeless white,

flapped, frantically

and folded itself;

into

safety,

into the comforting darkness

of its empty cocoon.
