The Song the River Sang

I won’t imply
That you and I
Won’t make a difference in this chapter
Your actions
Make the wheel turn faster
There’s something deeper
In those grains of sand
That slip between your fingers

The song the river sang
With liquid language
Flooding closer to the desert
where we stand
I launch a final flare
To catch the eye of those who care
I never meant to say
That nothing that you do
would ever matter
A chain reaction has begun
and it will run forever
