bear river

…

silence in the water past the rushing of the falls you are holy
in the whispers of my past, the dissonance of your breath holds me

fogging in the glass where the salmon run and catch their ride home
you stood standing in the water in the middle of bear river

you are not alone
my bear
and i will never let you go, never let you disappear
i will wait for winter when the beating of our hearts draws us near

you are not alone, my bear


when i was just 18 and the things that i believed were like diamonds
shining in the bottom of the muck and the mire, you were lying

my head above the water now, rushing back and forth i am overthrown
it is winter in my heart in the middle of bear river

you are not alone
my bear
and i will never let you, never let you disappear
i will wait for winter when the beating of our hearts draws us near

you are not alone, my bear
