River

​blood, time, rush, by
down towards no why
have peace be free
will have will be

no place left now
gift to endow
empty rafter
heights i'm after

dark sun, bright earth
light to my worth
have no sky left
all stars bereft

lost me, lost you
don't know what's true
no ask no more
heartbeats in store

rain on my skin
wet don't get in
blood in my veins
long as it rains

no steps to take
fortune to make
heat to warm by
hot became my

no light out there
will fill my stare
blind as rainfall
earth overall

blood, time, rush, by
time I knew why
heart beats down through
mountains to you
