Dry Brush Painting of “Mountain Glacier’s White-foamed Child“,
image created by Thomas Fideler using AI
RUN DEEP THIS COURSE
River, run deep this course of wilderness,
Mountain glacier’s white-foamed child,
Rushing, crashing, headlong
Down through darkened hills and forest shadows,
Settling slowly into sunlit lowland plains.
Now a deeper, darker, brooding course,
Sometime forborne by earthen banks,
Until passion feeds your flood;
And then, in sprawling power you rush,
A consuming flow of life and death.
River run deep this course in me — You are
Life, aroused, cutting deep the way,
Unbroken, flowing toward the sea;
To lose and find a life; absorbed, not lost;
Eternal river flow—in me.
