A hug goodbye

It is a river of golden light

where I play and float peacefully

The water heals me 

The relaxation takes me far away

As I flow downstream 

The river becomes me

Inside me,

the light begins to shine

From the top of my skull 

the light pours in 

freeing me

glowing through my skin

The warm waters

Hold me 

The are my security 

Following each turn I make

Suddenly,

My toes brush against a grassy shore

The river is no longer in front of me

The light smiles and kisses me goodbye

I try to jump back in

But the current carries me to land,

quickly and gently

I look towards the river one last time

I must make the journey

through tall grass and vines

through mountains and madness

to reach the start of the river once again
