Effortless

There was something glistening from upstream,

But even with arms and legs at full force,

Even then, 

It was never within my reach. 

I've heard you calling me from downriver, Nathan, 

And I hear you now, calling me. 

Your voice, your laugh, 

That scraggedy hair... 

Finally, you break my transfixion, 

And I succumb to the flow. 

    -Oh! It feels so good,

                     To be effortless.
