She cares for
tiny stones embedded
within her withered body
until the time when
they are released
to find their own place
on the river's edge;
to experience
immeasurable rain drops,
pounding waves;
winds and sun,
their own erosion,
their evolution.

When she can no longer
provide life;
when weathered from years
of rains, winds and flowing waters;
her remains are shaken free
by passing seasons
as sand descending gently
covering the river's
endlessly changing canvas.
