River
I see youths around
Trying to find peace within
What’s within their minds I don’t understand
Maybe it’s the amusement of the river inside the rocks
Or maybe it’s the water on top of the stone
Different angle they sit
Some writing while others thinking
Yes it’s the confusion of the world and each want to find inner self
As for me creative ideas are on my mind ‘
Then I ask myself, what the relation between water and steep rock
Where does that sound of the river come from?
Why the silence of the still water on the rock
Then I look around to the clouds and trees and I say to myself –what a day worth remembrance
It’s me, water, rocks, clouds, trees and birds
And amongst those I ask myself what I want to be
I say it’s the river
For it carries greatness in it, life and health
The velocity of the river means determination
The slope means –focus and direction
sound the outcome of focus and determination gives you sound the result
