Our love is a river
Flowing through those joined by the stars
The ripples washing over
And surrounding all
It overcomes obstacles
Rushes over wood, sand and stone
Tosses aside the debris of each day
To become one with the ocean
Though the surface seems frozen
It thrives beneath the ice
Ever moving forward
Nurturing and communicating
Healing wounds and kissing away tears
It ripples through darkness and light
Never losing ground of the goal
The sun evaporates the pain
While the moon replenishes the spirit
The bed below us is time to be carried away
Into a sea of eternity
With the runes far below
The rain plants sweet kisses
With every drop taken in
It grows deeper, stronger
Racing past the banks of trouble
Threatening to stop it
There was no real beginning
Just two streams that destiny saw fit to merge
The path it follows is clogged with thorns
It shall break through the dams
Or find a way over them
The fates stir on the rapids
And the end is infinite and immense
Churning full of rivers from past lives
Constantly breathing and expanding
Forever room for more
