<>The City and the River </P>
<>Ian Seed <BR> <BR>For Cory Harding</P>
<>We searched all our lives:<BR>the branches grew through the years<BR>and the roads we walked<BR>became shrouded in shadow.</P>
<>In the end<BR>there was a shining river<BR>and on the other side we could see<BR>the city we had once dreamt of.</P>
<>Yet we were afraid to cross,<BR>and instead lay down and closed our eyes<BR>as if the city and the river<BR>might no longer be there when we awoke.</P>
