    The man lived at the bottom of the river, clinging to it out of fear. He questioned if this was all there was and wondered what he could be. A voice inside told him to let go. When he did, the river tossed him about violently as others cried out for him not to go, sure he would die. However, as he let go and became one with the river, he felt calm, complete, and able to see others still clinging fearfully. The river called for them to let go as well.

    The River ….

    The Way by Karen Chase

    the man he lived


    at the bottom
    of the river
    many others lived
    alongside Side

    Side

    BottomTopDownUp
    clinging
    consumed
    fearful
    never letting go

    no other world
    no other place
    floundering progress against

    the man he was


    unhappy

    ? Is this all there is

    the man he questioned


    what do I can
    be afraid afraid
    do not
    let go
    cling to me
    cling to you

    a voice inside
    around
    within

    let go

    the man he
    let go

    terrified
    reaching out
    others come back
    don’t
    go
    surely you we will die

    the river
    took him banged him
    tumultuous
    reaching out crying out
    threw him
