A River and a Soul

Life has an ebb n’ flow
A yin, a yang which guides where you need to go
A force beyond space and time

Love rules a universe
A precious tone to commence the ultimate verse
The union of the heart and the mind

And the river it tumbles over rocks and man-made dams
Into the Chesapeake Bay, down through the Hampton Roads
And the Soul, it feeds on irony and rendered deeds,
Spinning dusty hay into shiny new gold
Spinning dusty hay into shiny new gold

How can you trace the voyage of a single drop of water
As it makes it’s long journey to the sea
And how can you transmute true wisdom to your sons and daughters
And be sure that the wisdom is pure as can be

Yes, the river it breaches its banks from time to time
Flooding thoughts and vivid memories deep within the mind
And the Soul, it grows despite a riptide of deadly undertow
The Soul you hold will never truly grow blind
No, the Soul you hold will never truly grow blind
Oh, the Soul you hold, it never truly goes
