We Row

Rowing on unknown waters,
                   paddling slow, 
             down the river, we go.
             Following the current 
             towards the uncertain.

           Avoiding the unavoidable
                      wild waters, 
                  part of the river
                       we row on.
       Watching the endless horizons,
                we try to contemplate 
                   the beauty around, 
          even in the rough river rapids.

            Rowing down the river,
       under the sun and the storm
                 we paddle slow.
          But, before we can think,
                       we reach 
            the end of our journey.

                         Not far, 
               we can see the sun
              melting with the sea.
                    It's time for us
                 to leave our boat.

                    Tired, we rest
             while we look behind
                  remembering 
      those unforgettable moments,
                shiny and precious
                    as a diamond 
         locked forever in our hearts.
