Upstream

in poetry •  8 years ago 

transparent seeds
nest in winter hollows
the future reflected
in all-knowing eyes
an eternal compass buried
in each golden heart

dappled forest light
on the natal stream
memories of salt
ingrained within
the latent lure
of open ocean

our destinies are silver
a return to clear waters
transformed revenants
glassy-eyed and gasping
on the gravel bed
that birthed us
