we layed in the river tonight, and looked at the stars
no one around
just us, and the river, and the stars
crunching handfuls of sand, letting it slip through your fingers
carried gently by the current
ears submerged
free floating
gazing up at the brightest stars I've ever seen
this, this is the God I love
skyblack, stars cold stark brilliant
lulling me into happiness
the river makes everything make sense again
mesmerized
freedom in water
in movement
in space
i can't get enough of the stars
and i want
to stay here, to be carried on the fluid arms of the river
eyes locked on the stars
scraping my toes on the sandpaper riverbed
i want to stay lost in this moment
to stay lost in the shiver of coolness
in the shiver of Africa by moonlight
to let this moment baptize me
ingrained
because it is so
vivid
and beautiful
alive
and free
