I Am A River

I have no time for attachments I have to keep moving Through hard rocks and steep slopes I have to climb my way out of sticky situations Escape through rough crevices Make my way through the scotching heat Day and night, I am always surrounded by dangerous beasts Ready to devour my flesh and rip through my heart But I have to be strong and pass through countless gaping mouths It is not my nature to stop and hide It is my way of life to ride through harsh conditions and extreme terrains Regardless of the ever changing state of my being Roaring and brutal water falls I will always aim for calmness and peace I will always rejoice in my resilient and compassionate heart It is a celebration of who I am I am a river of Love And I am here to refurbish life Rejuvenate the spirit of happiness Plant the seed of hope And be the ever flowing river of life I am a river of inspiration ©Kenneth Maswabi
