Along The Other Side Poem by Mathias Sager

I walked along the river - I'm walking along the river
People floating in the stream - People swimming in the stream
Accompanying the swimmers - Leading the companions
Never in the river myself - Always from the river bank

Never went under as I became - Never go under as I am
Had to keep the pace - Want to lead the race
Felt pushed or pulled anyway - Don't feel pressure anymore
It was the wrong side of the river - It's the right side of the river

I knew there's another side - I remember there was another side
I need to cross the water first - From where I crossed the water then
What about the hands I've hold - There were hands I held
Will they follow me to there - They didn't follow me to here

Slowing down as I cross the stream - Speeding up as I move along
My loved ones hands were torn off - My loved ones hands to reach again
Is it for the crossing only - Be it for eternity
And we'll rejoin on the other side - And we'll rejoin in this lifetime soon

They didn't know this side - They have learned about this side
They didn't choose this side - They now belief in this side too
The other side is their side - The other side was their side
Their side is determining the hand - The hand did determine their side

I had to choose the other side - I had to leave the other side
I belong to the other side - I never belonged to the other side
I feel naturally alone - I'm feeling naturally connected
Cannot change the side again - Cannot change the hand again
