Rivers Within

The river runs rapidly towards its eternal home

No rock or boulder can interrupt its steady flow

Rushing, bubbling, and peace-bringing cacophony

The joy, rapture, music of this oft-repeated show

.

There lies beneath this energy rush, a world so full

Life that teams and streams along with its cleansing host

Fish, tadpoles, and frogs abound and clearly depend

Nurturing mother that our earth and bodies need most

.

Receive its healing and strength as it empowers

Let its rivulets wipe away the crustiness of the hate

Wear away the rock-hard contention, conflict, strife

For we are the river, the flow and we are the strait.
