From What the River Runs

The river winds in from distant lands

With mercyless power it turns stone to sand

Through its mysterious life, the very earth it commands

And Yet the fearful river still runs through our hands.

In torrents of furry where the deepest currents flow

The rivers wild waters surge with woe. For

Onward, forever, its destined to go

A permenant home it won't ever know.

 

The river runs from each of us

As a refugee of fear,

It knows in a blink it will be somewhere else

Its waves are really its tears.

It runs from the audacity  

Of the selfish human mind

As Its massive life capacity,

Of flora and fauna combined,

Are threatened by our antics and helpless to our crime

So the river runs on their behalf, from everyone, in time-

 

 

even within its whitecap foam

Water's yearning for a home

 

So roam does the water- endlessly,

till its long gone out of sight

The essential droplets of the river-

Nomads day and night.
