Rapid

The moon rises steadily
through the horizon of trees.

While the bright rapids
in the dark river

play marvelous music
with no instruments;

except for the permanence
of boulders resisting water.

Your life passing rapidly.
Time flowing swiftly
in one direction.

Resisting time
while waiting for your
approach to heaven.
