the river flows free . influenced by the constraints . built to contain it
a drop of water . passes, never to return . to the same river
make a decision . live with the consequences . the price of freedom
following the path . it is easy to pass by . obvious answers
all that can be done . is to put pieces in place . and hope for the best
to find happiness . take time to stop, and engage . curiosity
water is patient . eroding everything . eventually
it’s in the moments . when things are unexpected . that magic happens
a smile on a face . isn’t always happiness . but sometimes it is
as the goose paddles . the calm waters, it watches . the future unfold
