Rivers

Time has forgotten about rivers

They are the eternal’s mirrors

Reflecting the gentle flow

Of life, through the body, as we grow

The mind stands as an unmovable rock

Life flows around it without giving in to its talk

From glacier to the sea, a river is unbroken

Without it, mountains and seas would be heartbroken

From the mind flows the river of emotion

Thoughts drink from it with true devotion

They swirl within waiting for acceptance

The heart cannot hold that abundance

When the mind melts, the heart will flow

It glistens when it comes out of the mind’s shadow

Time will mistake a flowing heart for a river

Giving it a pass, allowing it to become an eternal giver
