260702 River

This one goes way back. Only one person will understand this picture.

‘The River of Life’

I go down river seeking answers
But the answers aren’t always the ones I want to hear
So I seek more answers

The river is so strange
By the time I begin to understand
It’s altered and I no longer comprehend it

I hate to change
But change is the only constant on the river
No matter how staunch I am she transforms me

The river of life flows ever onward
I am but a twig on the river
I don’t change the course of the river the river changes me

The river never ends
But I will
Rivers endure people don’t

I can change the banks for a time
I can leave them alone
The river will always return to its true nature

Sometimes a rock will deflect me
Forcing me to revise my direction
But sooner or later I return to the river

To purposely deviate from the flow
Only complicates and delays
The journey I must make to complete my purpose

If I seem adrift in a marsh
There’s no need to worry
Perhaps I’m just resting on my way down river

Maybe I’m there
Just to spend a moment with you
On my way down river
