abandoning yourself

corpse-like

to the waters

of ever running

river of life,

you appear as moving fast

to those watching

from the shore…

 

but when you

submit fully

to the current

and float effortlessly,

merging

with the flow -

reposing whole

in the present

you do not

move

at all

 

 

respectfully,

yosy
