Out of the River

oh god, dont reveal
everything to me
because this realm
does not have enough words
to portray them all

all the languages,
vocabularies, and words
would hardly be enough
to describe a minute part
of your creations

i am a little fish swimming
in the rivers of universe
picking up what little dregs
and worms i could find for food

the rest is beyond my
comprehension
out of water, i would be so dry
all the worlds will not be able to save me
