TO SING IS LIKE TO BE THE JORDAN
To sing
Is like to be the Jordan:
You start up top in the north
Young, chilled, bubbling and cheeky
You hear birds in the thickets
And each one of them is
A bird of paradise
Because To sing
Is like to be the Jordan.
Your days
Rush like the Jordan
Like it you flow south
On the banks wild grasses grow
But onwards - onwards -onwards
Flow your waters
For do your days not
Rush like the Jordan
Your end is
To perish like the Jordan
To be gathered slowly into the dead sea
In the lowest place on earth
But
At the peaks of the snowy mountains
In a jubilant tumult
After you
Your songs are trickling on
For is not
To sing like to be the Jordan
