Snake's Movement

The river slowly
Like a snake's 
Movement goes
To the sea

While the sunsets
Golden casting red
On the clouds
Mountains and valley

Our lives go forward
Sometimes fast 
Then sometimes
Like a slow river

Disaster sometimes
Seems like that 
Slowly moving river
Lessons are learned

When the river 
Is full and swift
Everything great
Lessons are aborted

Thank you God
For the slowly
Moving river
The teacher
