Meandering through the valley
I came upon a stream
It threatened to engulf me
I surrendered to its whim
Merged thus we rushed along
Singing a wild incoherent song
As the steep mountains approached
Young streams joyfully joined our fold
The gushing stream now swelled with pride
With its loud spattering my calmness vied
To be heard above the din
Louder and louder it got
Till the roaring stream forgot
The beautiful promise
It had once made to me
Gushing, swirling, roaring we went
Raging towards the sea
Steady – I whispered softly
Trying my best to soothe
But my gentle sighs were lost
In its bold thundering whoosh
Now as we head full sway
Towards impending doom
I balefully look back, to that fateful day
When I gently meandered along
Humming my own sweet song
The day I met the stream
And let go of all my dreams
The stream that engulfed me
Drowned out my voice
Its false promises I believed
For that I’ve paid the price
