RIVERS JOURNEY
THE JOURNEY IS LONG
FOR THE RIVER
FROM THE MOUNTAIN
TO THE SEA
AT TIMES THE FLOW
CEASES WAITING
FOR ANOTHER RAIN
ANOTHER MELTING OF
THE SNOW
MOVING IT CLOSER TO
ITS DESTINATION
AS IT CRASHES OVER
ROCKS AND ROARS UNDER
BRIDGES RUSHING FORWARD
CARRYING ALL BEFORE IT
WHITE FOAM APPEARS
TO GIVE A LOOK OF CALMNESS
BOUNCING ALONG ON
THE SURFACE LOOKING
TO THE END OF ITS
JOURNEY
THE FOAM IS SUDDENLY
STRUCK BY A STRONG
WIND BLOWING IT BACK
UP STREAM
TO ONCE AGAIN BEGIN
ITS NEVER ENDING JOURNEY
