River

I dreamt of a river
In the time of no return
Flowing scarlet water
Running down a stream

It separated the earth
One side or the other
Light brightened one
Dark shadowed another

The light blinded me
With its dazzling glow
The dark blinded me
Due to its intense gloom

I felt very frightened
Unable to make a choice
Standing in the middle
Of nowhere and everywhere

A sense of peace and calm
Tempted me towards the light
While a seductive scent
Allured me to the dark

The only sound I heard
Was the sound of the river
Running along its path
To complete its journey

Its aim was not to hinder
Or to provide any help
No one was with me
And yet I was not alone

One day very soon
The choice will be made
Regardless of the flow
Or the direction of the river
