This River I Cry
In the dusty mire
of half forgotten dreams,
in tear filled streams
of unfulfilled desires.
I swim towards reason
in the muddied river of time,
flowing onward
to the sea of eternity.
Whirlpools and waterfalls
currents and undertows,
seeking my drowning
the death of my will.
I swim or sink,
surf or drown,
onward, onward
through pain and storm.
There seems no rest
no tranquil shore,
no meaning to anything.
Just this river
that I cry,
I must forever swim.

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.
Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
