rivers

I tried to become a mountain -
Strong, towering, constant,
but found the point all along
was to become a river,
ever changing,
moving as the earth moves -
a cool relief.
As we journey together,
we drift and float as one.
flow through alps,
between orange canyon walls
and green jungles,
create music and waterfalls -
pick each other up,
splash -
we are joy -
smoothing rough edges,
sometimes slow, often wild -
roaring, then becoming quiet,
new every day.

Nothing is simple enough to stay
planted forever,
I’m not sure enough of anything
to tower beliefs over you -
so lets ride this course,
together -
currents through bends and passes,
touching the earth’s hidden places,
experiencing unknowns.
