=)

i may not be fire

passionate, all-consuming

but i think

i am a rushing river

constant, ever-flowing

nothing blocks a river's way

stones or dirt

it pushes through

until it meets the ocean

the great unknown

the great source

the great gathering

 

i may not be fire

rapid, over-the-top

but the silent hum

of the gushing waters

speaks

silence

and quiet confidence

that no matter what

the river will go

on its course

and things will happen 

as they should

and it will reach its destination

 

i may not be fire

causing things to bubble over

but i may be water

calm and steadfast

refreshing 

soothing

with wells 

and wells

of inner strength

 

you can try killing rivers

cover them up with dirt

but water, it will trickle somewhere

it will spring out sometime

it will gather its strength

and come back 

as a flood
