River Bend

Come with me as far

as the bend

in the river.

And as we draw

closer with every step

the view will widen

on the far bank,

revealing a glimpse

of pastures new

or maybe just

a similar view,

but

come with me as far

as the bend

in the river -

and you can decide

whether we stay

or carry on.
