The Calling of Wild Rivers This morning in the dawning Of another day of rising heat, I feel the calling of the wild river And its deep pools of clear Cold ever flowing waters. For years, we have made the pilgrimage— Going north to the little winding road, Then east back through the wide canyons, Following the river as it curved below. We’d park under shading oaks and Climb down the slopes on a faint trail Until we reached one of the secret beaches To set up our camp for a day Of swimming and diving into those Crystal depths, to be soothed And sanctified by the simple purity Of being suspended in virginal flowing water. There is a magic that settles Our souls and opens our hearts, to Have left our daily life far behind— To find our sanctuary from the world, As we match energies with this wild River in just being present— Flowing along with the current In reverent silence for a timeless time.
