A River We Can't Cross
Lovers who can't reach each otherA river is between us--too deep and dark and swift to swimand not be swept away.We do not know the river’s source,but there it is--sometimes calm,sometimes raging from a storm.We see each other on our shores,busy in our lives.We wave and smile but cannot hearacross the rushing waterand do not speak.Who knows?Perhaps one day we’ll find a bridgethat we can crossand sit beside each other once againand touch.
