Estuary

As he reaches journey’s end
He reminisces moments past
Contemplates the river’s bends
And ways to make the rapids last

But he’s trapped within alluvium
In a delta of regrets
He struggles to elude them
But guilt cannot forget

The river drives him forward
The ocean waves repel him
Remorse expels him overboard
As desolation settles in

He wades through his wrongdoings
Labours through stagnation
Awaits a ride on Osprey’s wings...
His soul’s emancipation
