Against this great surge of water
Tears of sorrow plummet to the earth
Enveloping me in nature’s pain
I am nothing compared to this sight
This beautiful view
Nothing but an animal roaming the earth
Running,
Running.
Trying to find answers to questions no one hears but me
Trying to understand nature’s complex emotions
Breathless
One out of seven billion
A leaf in a forest
A droplet of water in an ocean
And still I run
So lost and confused
So insignificant
Soft with compassion
But hardened by pain
Awed by this surge of water
Connected but separated
Living yet dying
Swallowed up by this world I’ll never truly explore
Drowning in a life I will never truly live
And still I run.
