The Blueprint

River of Life   


River of Life   
Spring emerges like a newborn babe
From the mountain top
Flowing ever downward
Building momentum
Gaining strength and speed
Widening and deepening
Tentatively evolving and maturing

Stream meanders back and forth
Following the meadow's contours
Adapting to its surroundings
Sculpting its way forward
Changing course with every challenge
Unhampered by obstacles
Unstoppable in its progress

River rages over rapids
Frothing with desire and drive
Then lets go of the past
And falls frighteningly out of control
Into whirlpools of indecision
Not knowing what the future holds
Fearful and unsure of its vision

And just when all appears to be lost in doubt
Deep, clear Pool brings peace and serenity
Confidently making its way onward Knowing balance and stability
Enjoying symbiosis with Mother Nature
Focused, determined, on purpose

River of Life

It pours is moist, healing strength
Into every living thing on its way
Leaving its mark on the Earth
To be remembered forever
Heaving a heavy sigh of surrender
Anticipating an awesome future
Merged in body and spirit with the Ocean of Oneness
