The river goes one way
Yet fish swim against it
There’s always a choice
To resist the inertia
The effort may leave you
Tired and speechless
But the strength that you gain
Makes the river feel still
To wade through the raging
Waters of change
And reach for the place
That the true you awaits
Reflected in water
With eyes to the sky
A refraction of light
Is how we learn to fly
