the river

a river is so powerful and strong
there is nothing else quite like it
rocks may come into it’s path and divert it
but the power of it’s waters will not be held
they will find ways around it
and slowly the river will wear the rock down
until it is no longer
and the water runs free again

but it draws it’s power from the mountains
and trusts that they will feed it the water it needs
for without the trust, it will slowly stagnate and starve, but never die

even though droughts come and go, and the river is weakened
it knows that someday it will return to it’s full power

as it can never be fully broken
and once the rains come, the silt and the boulders that have gathered will be swept away
so the river will flow again once more
