And So It Is, The Way It Should Be Poem by Mario, Lucien, Rene Odekerken

And So It Is, The Way It Should Be

The river does not ask the stones
why they shape its flow.
The tree does not seek approval
for the reach of its branches.

The stars are silent,
unconcerned with their reflection in the sea.
The wind does not linger
to hear its name in whispered breath.

Each thing moves
as it must.
Not waiting for permission
to exist,
to fade,
to be.
