I Am River

I flow endlessly, ever wondering where I may roam

Steady, I know which path I must take, unaware of where it may lead me

I define beauty with fiery

I begin a gentle,calm flow only to turn a bend and become wild, uncontrollable.

Though everything may block my path, nothing stands in my way

I battle to gain passage, to continue my everlasting journey

Dancing through earth, my boundless stage

I know that the question is not if I reach the end, but when I will.

I know that when I do, I will know my purpose
