Like A River

You said once I was like a river, That brought deserts to life, Passing through rocks, Gently smoothing the edges of stones and memories. You promised you'd watch over me Guiding my waters forward, Calling me back through lands and seasons, At every turn I took. We couldn't be apart, you said, As detours do not erase destiny And nothing could change my path. I kept flowing towards you, Dreaming to know All of your secrets Wrapped in waves, storms and salt. Even if it took me a thousand turns, I'd always return to you, And you'd always be there waiting for me. Written by REBELLICCA, February 9th, 2022
