Roll On, Roll Back

The river is overflowing
with thoughts and feelings.
It creeps around the bends--
unsure, hesitant.
What should it do to stop the endless flooding?
It can't comprehend
why the trees are placed just so,
why the rocks block its path,
why it is worth the effort to keep moving.
Should it become still--
a dead stream?
Should it freeze over
as if it was winter?

Isn't it odd to watch a river cry
when normally it saves its water for itself?
Isn't it strange to see a river crumble
into a dry pile of dirt?

No one stands by it anymore,
though many have crossed its path--
it is only a lonely river
traveling in its own corner of the world.
Back home!
