To see the river and watch it flow,
Effortlessly from where it came to whence it go
Never curious about why or where,
Traveling with grace, nary a care.
Unlike man who obsesses and frets,
About all that he gives and all that he gets.
Grabbing as much as he possibly can,
Selfish and hoarding ‘til it gets out of hand.
Then in the end they find all is for naught,
Worth nothing more than a penny for a thought.
Wise would it have been to follow rivers example,
Living with ease, nature provides all that is ample.

Beautifully written Dom.

Lovely & graceful like a river~
Thank you so much Cindy, how very nice of you to say.
The world would be a very different place if we all lived like that.
I would like to think so. Thank you so much.
So poignant. You are right. Rivers are so unique – they flow gracefully and peacefully. And if they get agitated, they do calm down and continue on.
So true my friend. :)
