The River

Strong, ever changing,
  surviving flood and drought.
Ever flowing, giving
  life to all on it's shores.
Disturbed by the ever
  increasing use of motors.
Imagine when it was
  younger, a silent time.
A time to discover
  how we live with one another.
How it's strength
  carries us onward to new.
To encounter another,
  make new friends, if only.
Instead we tame
  and the sacred is broken.
The river will endure,
  the shape of it threatened.
Can we find the wonder
  to lie still, to listen, hear.
Hear it beckon us
  to rconcile the sacred tie.
