Life Is Like a River

There are many ways
to travel down the river.
Swimming, flowing,
diving, using: kayaks,
boats or yachts.
I have seen people
in stable boats, just relaxing and
from it time to time swimming 
to enjoy the waters.
Some brave one’s dive in
the deepest and darkest places of the waters.
I've seen people in broken sinking boats, 
yet refusing to let go of their boats.
Others are force by the current, 
to leave their boats.
Many go against the current. 
Some they get tired of swimming and drown; 
not knowing that they could just flow and 
enjoy the experience. 
Many ways to travel the ever-changing river.
How are you traveling the river today?
