River

Surging life giver-

Runs without stopping.

Silent life taker-

Rages without hating.

Seeking no shelter-

Returns without leaving.

Born without dying-

Resists incarnating.

Beckoned by the moon-

Sighs without breathing.

Called from the mountains-

Foams without seething.

Easy pathfinder-

Bends without yielding.

At home in the world-

Alone with no shielding.
