Inside This River


Inside this river there is a moon
which is not a reflection.

From the river bottom the moon speaks.
I travel in continuous conversation
with the river as it goes.

Whatever is above
and seemingly outside this river
is actually in it. 

Merge with it, in here or out there, 
as you please.

This is the river of rivers
and the beautiful silence of endless talking.
