Time

Time

Time
A river I chase
Running alongside
With bare feet
And painted toes

I wade in shallow pools
Catching treasures in jars
To save
And set free
  Later

And I stand on the bank
Where the rapids run
Wanting to jump
Suspended in the mist
  Catching you with both hands

Meandering river
Rushing river
Your course, your aim
Through my fingers and painted toes
Never standing still
