The Saltiest River

I closed my eyes, just as
you told me to.
Stripped all my worries
for they had no purpose to you.

I climbed on a feather.
You found your own bird.
I let the Wind guide me
as you flew with the Herd.

It did not take long;
too quickly to me.
For whomever to decide
to decide this decree.

The saltiest of rivers;
the Wind following its course,
slowly less able, to resist
the Gravitational Force.

I lay there floating
on the saltiest river of all.
I let the Wind guide me
as if I never did fall.

I let the Wind guide me;
saw the world through new eyes.
We crossed paths again
just at the point of your demise

You asked about my journey;
I told you the Wind blew me around.
You laughed half-heartedly
until I slowly heard no sound.

You sank into the river:
the saltiest river of all.
And I let the Wind guide me
Smiling, as I recall.
