I feel like I'm on a fast moving river Sometimes I row hard and try to steer Sometimes I just let the current take me where it will Sometimes I feel lost Sometimes I duck the low hanging branches Sometimes the river widens and the current calms and I can rest Sometimes the river narrows and the whitewater throws me into the boulders It is in the turbulent waters that I am tested and my skills are sharpened Always I try to appreciate the journey and the breathtaking views I know around every bend, a new challenge awaits Never knowing around which bend lies the non-corporeal sea of dreams No more branches, no more bends, and no more boulders Only calm waters, gentle breezes, and smooth sailing

River Wild
I feel like I'm on a fast moving river Sometimes I row hard and try to steer Sometimes I just let the current take me where it will Sometimes I feel lost Sometimes I duck the low hanging branches Sometimes the river widens and the current calms and I can rest Sometimes the river narrows and the whitewater throws me into the boulders It is in the turbulent waters that I am tested and my skills are sharpened Always I try to appreciate the journey and the breathtaking views I know around every bend, a new challenge awaits Never knowing around which bend lies the non-corporeal sea of dreams No more branches, no more bends, and no more boulders Only calm waters, gentle breezes, and smooth sailing
