Among the boulders that gaze on with proud regard When times are rigorous, having patience is hard Water gently brushes the riverbanks over time Blue river flowing slowly, crickets chirping in rhyme The river's peace is disrupted, though, by the rain Our babies are sobbing louder, battering our brains As it evolves, it surpasses every hurdle in its path Of ravenous sadness or the grasp of wrath? In such instances, I find myself tearing up at the core However, I struggled and failed to locate any doors Clock hands are in motion, moving at a rapid pace In slow motion, creep through the daily, hectic race Appear weary as they watch the clock tick down The bull broke his knees, and the farmer lost the crown As I delete memories, I am reminded of the past I had believed that all my history was cast Knowing what adds delight and delivers pleasure Will let the hectic, noisy swarm steal their treasure Let me feel it in the punctured vein of pure essence And practice a fire sprayer to indicate our presence I contemplate until I'm numb if pain once raged I yearned for the river as I aged.
