For Adeleia

posted 13 May 2019 by Krister Axel

And the sky feeds the river, and the sun feeds the sky.

My heart carries your heart inside of it
like a seed carries a tree
as a distant concept, destined
to be. As a river can carry a seed
inside the water, tempted to find land
but powerless to do so. And the sky
feeds the river, and the sun feeds
the sky. And your heart
is the key
