I FEEL LIKE A FLOWING RIVER
Even though I desired to be like lake.
Am drawn towards pool, lake,and slow moving river,
Their silence, stillness, calmness and quietness always captivate me,
They are attractive and luring,
Colorful lilies on the lake are breathtaking,
They are beautiful and safe home for their inhabitants,
They cause no troubles.
No matter much I desired and I prayed to become like them,
I am like a fast following river with current,
Cold and fresh,
Moving with sound day and night,
Passing through places and cultures.
When I flood, I move stones and remove obstacles along my way,
Clearing the river banks,
And also cause damages.
What can I do to solve the quest of who I am and who I desired to be?
I realized I can not change my identity, yet I have freedom to become whom I desired to be.
My longing lead to this revelation!
Is knowing the art of when to become like a river and when to become like a lake and a pool!
