The River
November 27, 2012
A cool gust of air.
A whooshing sound of water.
A seemingly calm place to be.
Sitting still, contemplating life
Hardly moving was never
Something I got excited over.
The river is still there
The river never changes
The river never moves.
The river used to be my best friend.
I used to see all the beauty in it
I only wanted to be in that moment.
But the river captured my only place.
My only place to be alone
I then understood the power the river holds.
A river appears fragile and pleasant,
But only until it stabs you in the back.
