I Am The River Of Life

I Am The River Of Life

I am water from the river of life;
emptying into reality’s ocean;
fighting rapids of earthly strife;
embodying love’s devotion.

God didn’t always promise peace;
for such is destiny; not means;
but, he did speak of sweet release;
for all is not as it seems.

We weren’t created to be at war;
that wasn’t to be our purpose;
God’s love, is what we’re born for;
imbued within our surface.

But war was the destiny of our ride;
all its conflict was meant to be;
this river must reach the other side;
only his Love can set us free.

The rocks provide a cumbersome path;
but, it’s one that all must ride;
the love he’s given; was taken as wrath;
peace awaits on the other side.

For now, we’re sands upon the shore;
our destiny still looms ahead;
we may require many an encore;
so we may return, instead.

The waters of life have sifted the sand;
an ebb and flow from fountains, done;
destiny evolved, as had he planned;
and love has changed all life into one.
