Here, on one side of this
river I stand,…
as I gaze upon the world on
the other strand.
“May these words in my
hand take me as far as I can!”
Could be outer space, or maybe
the ocean, or perhaps some
far off land. Word for word
I venture deeper within,…
pages begin to turn, I hope this
never ends. Here on one side of
this river I stand as I gaze
upon the world,… inside my hand.
