Squinting into the deepest end
The midnight river expelled into the sea
Descending to the depths
Where the moonlight shone no more
Yet the river flowed on
Merged with the many rivers
Come from dark places to be one
And those too
Come from the land of the midnight sun
Illuminated in perpetual twilight
The air filled with pieces of its radiant end
Invigorated in the fleeting
The distant knowing of the depths to come
The eternal light dancing flashing in the long night air
Above the glint of the midnight river
Remembering the slant of the midnight sun
