By MARIT

 I wander in the dark 

when all my hope is gone

tired of all the work

in my hands

in my heart

my mind is halfway sleeping

but I'm still awake

because the river that runs through it

the river of my life

when I'm alone

and all the stars were just my guide

i couldn't bear to take them

i lost the sense of life

i couldn't find any comfort

blinking things just won't do

i let the flow overtake me

the river that runs through

someday all the fantasies make will end

I know

maybe they will form into life

or maybe just a dream that won't come true

maybe I'll be gone

without anything toprove

but the river of my life will flow

as endless as my woe.

*the writer was inspired by the beautiful life of the late RIVER PHOENIX.
