The River Knows

The riv­er flows, yet stays the same,
A wind­ing path, a whis­pered name.
It carves the stone, yet bends with ease,
No need to fight, no need to seize.

The wind may howl, the storms may rise,
Yet stars still shine in end­less skies.
What bends sur­vives, what breaks is gone,
The night must pass to bring the dawn.

So let life flow, let bur­dens light,
No need to chase, no need to fight.
For time will take, and time will give,
And all we have—is now, to live.
