On the River

I was never aware

I was never there

I was on top of the river

Looking at the water and understanding its elements

I was not ready for the jump

Neither for the height

I was not ready to let go

Neither to ghost

I was ready to aspire

I was ready to pursue, and inspire

Looking from the top of a Cascade

I could see the risk of slide off, but

I also felt the adrenaline and the joy of living

It was a curious forest

It was solemnly a mystery

A mystery that I was willing to understand
