Rivers Run

Listen to poem:
Rivers run, rivers flow, let it flow, let it flow 

Creativity, never let it go 

The bud that must flower, the tree that must grow 

Seeds of germination, future take shape 

Tis the dreamers, the believers, the doers, the achievers 

Who so create tomorrow’s world 

The missionaries, the visionaries, a land of oysters, a sea of pearls 

For they are the exceptions to the norm 

Of no measure to conform 

The beacons of light, with wings they take flight 

Inner propensity, with authenticity, they make it a priority 

To shape society, and so establish, their mark in history 

They venture beyond the comfort zone, a road less travelled 

If so alone 

Camouflaged not, born to stand out 

To realize within, manifest without 

Captains of their destiny, they pave the way for others to be 

Purpose, passion, legacy, extraordinaire, epitome 

Yet beyond limits, illusions overcome 

Great beyond measure, their rule of thumb 

Multi-dimensional, that which was chose 

The vessels of which creativity flows 

The journey of life, taken at the helm 

With access to another realm 

Transcendent thought, that cannot be bought 

Noteworthy cause, lest run-of-the-mill 

Guided forward by a higher will
