Entering The River Poem by Martin Mc Carthy

Entering The River

Rating: 5.0

Because of the dirge in the dance,
because of the salt in the wave,
because of the fading glow
of the perfect ring,
you have rarely shared
the full warmth of your love,
but now you do … and so,
in the sunset spell
of something silently sexual,
at the end of a day
that is not the end of us,
your eyes say to me:
‘Let's go where the stars undress,
let's feel the flow
and risk of the eternal river.'
