Rapids intends to represent the rising tension which accompanies the recognition that one's chosen course is not only increasingly unsatisfactory, but that the situation has evolved beyond the point of no return, and thus that a change of direction has become an unavoidable necessity...
my wish is my motion
channelled by decision
i am running onward
to my destination
intensification
and acceleration
there'll be more upheaval
before vindication
the tension is building
hurried awakening
to my enfranchising
this stream is not leading
perhaps this has to be
passage necessary
from my own eyes to see
who isn't really me
or then again maybe
it is my penalty
karma for me worthy
of past conformity
how life obliges me
to be all i can be
to shed docility
and to choose liberty
of turmoil i'm prescient
implied in the current
i'm heading for a dam
latent in the torrent
approaching collision
silenced inclination
bearing artificial
the end of repression
and then i'll be dormant
drowning in the moment
water amniotic
withdrawn incognizant
cocooned in suspension
marooned in immersion
introspective recess
profound transformation
before elevation
to realization
revived buoyancy
triumphant emersion
