People Talk In The River

If only people talk in the river

I would swim the entire length of your flow,

dive deep into your hidden depths,

carefully analyze the phytoplanktons

and the zooplanktons,

that made you so unique,

that you are able to attrack many fishes.

I will express my admiration

right there and then

so the waves would carry them to you.

But I ain't got gills, just lungs.

and I communicate in person

not amongst the waves.
