RIVER OF LIFE
At my feet the river ran,
All the tangled roots embanked
Yews and poplars, oaks and pines,
The esoteric rules and signs.
The garden glowed beneath the limes
The perfume stung my heart, my rhymes.
'Do what thou wilt', my Master claims
It's all The Law, the Whole, The Game.
I stood above all human crimes,
I looked with scorn what life demands.
It's all so mean and meaningless !
I choose to live...Ah!...Nonetheless...
