Upon the shallow river’s floor,Our protagonist is found,His clothes hang heavy,By a burden he is bound.He empties his fears,As they flow from his ears,He escapes them not,For a new guide appears.
You are the fruit, who's taste I desire
That before I may bite, cruel winds carry higher
Those vast, quenching waters just under my lip
That the tide tears away as I try to sip
I long to just jump
