River, Tide, Run Poem by Ilana Sabio

River, Tide, Run

Escape the conflict of the moon and earth
Resist the need to try
Calm your flowing arms, and
Relax your soul; the inner monster cannot be released
River, Tide, Run

Today is struggle, tomorrow is a sorrow
I watch you give up and let go
Dig in your roots and keep still
That is not your nature though
River, Tide, Run

You must flow with the currents that carry you
Wrapping your blanket around your creatures
To provide a healthy being
You must not give up
River, Tide, Run

The goddess of all love,
The soul of all sources
You should not give up
Take a stand and fight…

The River…
The Tide…
And RUN…
