Flee

I stare down the river
I stare down the rain
I watch it drizzle
I watch it drain

Why? Whats the point?
Will the water never cease?
Will it go on forever,
As long as it please?

Can't it stop just this once
Let me hold it tight?
In the grip of my hand
Can't I watch it fight?

Yet I clasp only water
As it drips through the holes
As it steals through the cracks
And the truth yet unfolds

I see it now,
It gleams at the sun
It glistens and glitters
Yet it never be done.
