friend river
river sighed welcome back
shruging I replied
"I wish that I were not here"
inside I knew that was a lie.
"tell me little brother, why have you come back home?"
"because friend river, the world is dark and cold"
"ah little brother, I'm glad you came, seems like you should have known,
its not the world that makes you so cold and alone.
You try to hard, my little brother, to have what you think
is the perfect life, the perfect wife and all those perfect things.
Little brother you came to me because we are friends
but I must tell you brush it off and return from where you came.
Little brother its not your heart which drives you to the end
its the lust to have what cant be attained thats going to do you in.
Perfect lives and perfect wives, and all those perfect things
dont come from nothing little brother ,they start from with in.
Go back little brother, find you inside yourself
and in time you will find the love of some one else.
Be patient, find happiness
but always from within
know you love yourselflittle brother
before you start again"

So I left friend river, and it rained
I cried for our times passing
but I took to heart the words he said
and will search in me for loves lasting.

I'm not sure if this makes any kind of sense, I really dont care. Me and the river had a heart to heart, I think I have an idea why its been so hard for me to figure out this love thing. But I got this.

Great poem. We have to know and find ourselves because we can reach out and love another. In her book, "In The Meantime" Iyanla Vanzant says "We go into a relationship looking for love, not realizing that we must bring love with us. We must bring a strong sense of self and purpose into a relationship. We must bring a sense of value, of who we are. We must move into relationships willing to share what we have, rather than being afraid of someone taking it."

You know its funny....
I've had a heart to heart with a river too...and it took away two years of depression with it...it was an incredible experience. I totally get this. Makes perfect sense.
