RETURN

Where the sands of Yesterday
Meet the waters of Tomorrow
I shall rest upon my way
And return what I have borrowed
To the Dreamer and the Deed
To the Poets and the Singers
To the ones who came in need
And the ones who came as bringers.
Between the banks
Of Now and Then,
I will rest upon this river
And return the gift again
To be given to the giver.
