Sea Saw
But will the river truly lead us to the sea? From Bottle in the River.

Sea Saw

Acknowledging the flow and current
pulling us to the edgeless sea.

Turning down a tributary,
dead ends become our see-saw.

Searching still, we find some questions,
speaking out about the edge.



Does the past-present meeting place
show the farce of symmetry?

Does this spring commence a whirlpool,
the torrent leading to the river?

Does the river end within the sea
where the ocean seems so never-ending?



I balance on the bitter beach,
while drinking in the consciousness—

the more I chase this steadiness
the lesser I will see the sea.

And with my hands held to my side
I plunge back into the waking flow.
