I am immensely comforted
by the consolation of rivers.
Wild water flowing freely.
Rapids cradled between mountains.
Water rushing with gravity,
bashing broad boulders
to create whitewater rapids
that pound on my ear drums.
Rivers carrying time,
endlessly into the future.
Washing my words
with exhilaration.
The current singing
the song of my life.
