small ripples

a poem

The water beneath the bridge ripples,

Causing all the negativity to vanish,

Beneath the countless debris,

Whose quantity remains unmeasured,

Only questioned.

~~~

The water cascades through the weir,

Recounting all the tales that fell short

In capturing hearts and captivating minds.

But really, who even cares?

Only those who were absent.

~~~

As the river flows in full flood,

It asserts its calming might

Upon those who lack the strength

To banish all that is not right.

~~~

The river possesses a potent driving force,

Challenging the indolence that permeates this world.

With its swift current, it cleaves trees in two,

Submerging them in an enigmatic whirlpool.

~~~

Lost in the recesses of my mind,

I have forgotten what it feels like

To have faith in the mighty current

The one that guides towards the correct path.

~~~

Thank you for reading!
