crossing over

what if water just passed
without you crossing over

years, echleons passed
day and night followed
cries and laughs drowned
like bubbles our lives vanished

what if water just passed
without you crossing over

sit down and see the sun set
see the flocks of birds returning
see the water flowing in that rivulet
see the long faces frowning

what if water just passed
without you crossing over

what if the aching heart pains
what if skies hold the rains

one day you will have crossed
one day pain would have ceased
the river here would be still flowing
the sun would still be setting
yeah, but, you would have crossed
