Down the Stream
Paper boats
find their sail
down the stream,
as I watched
Until they were
out of my sight.
I thought
I'd let you go or
I'll let you be;
But I find myself
chasing after you,
Not thinking.
Skipping through
the scowling bushes.
But I smiled.
Half running;
half skipping
And jumping.
I forgot to breathe
when I finally saw you.
And I stopped.
Catching my breath;
I knelt and made ripples,
I smiled.
I promised
To let you go-
But, I couldn't.
I promised;
I'll set you free,
And let you sail.
If only;
The stream is smooth,
And snatch you away.
For I know;
You'll find a way,
To Your Home.
Down the stream.
Over the horizon.
It will take you home.
