Was Only A Bus Stop

Attempted to put youths together

The river couldn’t fill its water

Over its dried bed; summer or rain!

Time couldn't just stop there

So many years passed, too swift;

Wish we were at a whirlpool

Then we would never need going separate ways

Where youth never grow old

Where life be neither slow nor fast

But was only a bus stop

Even that bus no longer running!

Still that route exists?  

Along it, should keep travelin’ together

Many years, many times

With compassionate love

Let us forgive each other

Let us hold together

Let the dream flowing forever

If such dream ever made of hope!

Was your name, Jennie, Pookie?

Was it Tanya, just a river?

These rivers lost somewhere?

Never got to the ocean, nowhere!

Might this river keep on flowin’ the same direction,

Longin’ for lovers to come an’ swim,

With solicitous solstice

Let the river

Gazin’ at the youths holding

The short last meeting o’ theirs

Couldn’t say a word

Lost in your beauty, now memory

Just a man with worry, I am!

Looking across the river, the other shore

Invisible in the mist winter more
