The River

I try ... to be like the river

Free flowing and fluid
Sometimes clear,
but cloudy at times
I cipher out all the
impurities in me
the best that I can

Like the river ...
that tumbles over
stones, large and small
sometimes impeding it's path,
yet always finding
it's way around them

I too struggle
with twists and turns,
obstacles that try and deter me,
and may for a time,
but eventually, I as well
find my way past them

Like the river ...
I reflect my surroundings
Sometimes calm and serene,
others, swift and un yielding
I too have my rapids, uncontrolled emotions
at times, get the best of me

Like the river ...
who nourishes and sustains
all the lands that occupy it's banks,
and who gives life to all who embrace it
I also try and touch those in my path
with nourishing words and actions

Like the river ...
that journeys to the Sea
onward I travel, to unite
with the Ocean of Oneness
the true essence of my being
Free flowing and fluid ... the only way to be!
